Young, vivacious Joanna Bennett desperately wishes to be captain of
her own lobstering boat, but despite being the favored daughter of
Bennett's Island's founding family, she is still just a girl in the
eyes of the community, and a girl living off the coast of Maine in
the early 20th century is expected to mind the kitchen, not tend to
pot buoys. While quietly struggling to find her place on insular
Bennett's Island, one where she could let her bold and opinionated
nature shine without shaming her family, Joanna instead finds love
when she meets a witty stranger with a sparkling smile just off the
mailboat. One whirlwind courtship and wedding later, Joanna finds
herself master of her own house, and every aspect of her beloved
island seems to reflect her joy. But when the luster begins to wear
off and her husband's dark secrets slowly reveal themselves, Joanna
must draw on her determination, resilience, and resourcefulness to
keep her family together. This evocative coming-of-age story
transports readers to the beautiful and rugged Maine coast, where
families must eke their livelihoods from the tempestuous ocean but
in return they're afforded the daily splendor and simple pleasures
of island life.
