I was drawn into this unique story immediately! It checked all the boxes: Mystery, humor, romance, inspiration, and faith!
Oliver had been helping Meg's father in his lobster business for many years. Both men had love, respect and close working relationship. The unusual thing is that Meg had a deep seated resentment and bitterness against Oliver for something that happened 10 years ago in high school. You could even say she loathed him. She had moved away and had a teaching job she loved.
Her mother's health takes a frightening turn for the worse. This forces her father to sell his business so he can take care of his wife. The logical one to buy it is Oliver, who desperately needs income. Meg has never worked the business and get violently sea sick even standing on a boat. Her grudge spurs her to tell her father she wants it. Oliver has the skills and loyalty and it is Meg's legacy. Which should he choose and how? To resolve the problem, he decides Oliver and Meg work side by side on the boat for the fishing season and then he will pick one of them to own his business. Talk about pouring gas on the fire! With gritty determination they both take the challenge.
What transpires is beautiful. The constant act of working together brings about miraculous changes in both their lives. God begins to work in both their lives in unexpected ways and does what is seemingly impossible. There are lots of surprises along the way for the reader and so many really funny moments.
I so enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the next one in this series 2
