MY REVIEW

Return to Three Sisters Island in the latest novel from Suzanne Woods Fisher, On a Coastal Breeze, and catch up with the Grayson family! (As the story does in On a Summer Tide, this book may focus on Maddie Grayson, but keeps the reader up-to-date with the other family members, too.)

Maddie is finally settling into her place and purpose—professionally, at least. Now, the new pastor arrives on the island, and because he is an unpleasant blast-from-the-past, he happens to complicate everything.

I so enjoyed revisiting this place and this family, catching up with this next aspect of their journey together. It is not easy, but it does prove satisfying to see how they make it through the struggles. I’m looking forward to seeing how this series continues next.


I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.

GUEST POST FROM THE AUTHOR

Dear Reader,

The minute you step off the ferry and onto Three Sister Island, magic begins. Crisp ocean air acts like an elixir. Stress starts to evaporate, like a wisp of steam from a cup of hot tea. Happiness moves in, and you’ll feel more cheerful, more positive about the future.

And then there’s time! Somehow, there seems to be plenty of it.

Little things will catch your notice—finding seashells on the beach, watching waves crash against the rocks, gazing at the star-studded night sky.

Life just starts to slow down…and you wonder if you really want to ever leave Three Sisters Island.

Nor do you have to! That’s the beauty of books—they are the perfect escape. Always available, just waiting to be picked up. Always ready to transport you to a fresh and new state of mind.

On a Coastal Breeze is that kind of a read. The Grayson Family saga continues as they move to Three Sisters Island off the coast of Maine for a fresh start. Maddie Grayson takes center stage in this story. Life is finally coming together for Maddie. On the very day she opens her counseling practice, she spots a billowing skydiver. Parachuting in is Ricky O’ Shea—the one person on earth Maddie hoped she’d never see again. But Rick’s the new pastor for the island’s only church and he’s not about to leave. That’s when sparks start to fly.

Join me for a getaway by the sea that will leave you in a happy, relaxed, vacation-y state of mind…without leaving your home. Once you board the Never Late Ferry, even in your imagination, the island will take it from there.

Warmly, Suzanne
