Fisher, Suzanne Woods. On a Summer Tide: Three Sisters Island. Grand Rapids, MI: Revell Publishing. 2019.

SUMMARY:
Paul Grayson, retired and following a dream while also harboring an ulterior motive, buys an island. Renaming that island to now be known as Three Sisters Island, Paul invites his three daughters to join him on his new quest. Siblings, Blaine, Maddie and Camden, all struggle with their own issues and don’t always agree on life; however, as the island progresses, life takes some interesting turns…

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
What a perfect summer vacation read! An island, water, romance, sisters and challenges all combine for a fun, fast, lively and charming story. With all 3 sisters facing situations in their personal lives, it was so real watching them unite for the best of intentions when it was needed. With an adorable dad added in the mix along with a mess of an island, it was endearing to see Camp Kicking Moose evolve. On a Summer Tide is definitely a book I would recommend taking to the beach, the cabin, the pool or the hammock; this newest contemporary novel from author Suzanne Woods Fisher is sure to be a highlight of the summer. With a delicious recipe and discussion questions rounding out the book, I hope we have not seen the last of the Three Sisters Island.

Spinola, Jennifer Rogers. Southern Fried Sushi. Uhrichsville, OH: Barbour Publishing, Inc. 2011.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
“Southern Fried Sushi” is a fast paced, novel that will tickle your funny bone. The storyline is light humor that is perfect for a summer afternoon read. Another positive facet to the book is the elements of faith that are weaved into the novel. The book depicts the power of sharing the love of Christ in everyday occurrences. (This adorably named book is followed by “Like Sweet Potato Pie” and “Til Grits Do Us Part” as part of the series.)

MY RATING:
