Recipe for a Husband by Anne Greene
Sounds like such a fun read from this author that I love reading her works.
This one starts in Bar Harbor, Maine a place we have visited. It's 1940's.
Her younger daughter and her are near the ocean and the man is being pushed from the sea into the rocks.
Nessie is blind and runs the lighthouse and she was able to rescue the man from the ocean.
Nessie has also tended to his broken leg after removing his pants. It's just October and they talk of the Thanksgiving holiday approaching in 4 weeks time. He's from Austrailia.
Love that the mother knits even though she's blind, just like me. Love hearing of the cookbook and the recipes inside along with a verse from the Bible-so cool!
Their father/husband had died 3 months ago. Kyle recuperates in the area and is looking forward to going back home to his sheep farm.
Like hearing of the work schedule for the week-very similar to mine but she also climbs the 100 steps to the light to maintain it. They are not sure they can maintain it during the winter months so they will advertise with hopes of getting married before the holiday.
They have to search the nearby waters for Germans...Love they can walk to the harbor to get lobsters right off the boat-she will cook dinner for the potential husband.
Recipes included. Kyle will be present when she entertains the man at dinner but he's got an ache in his heart....
Love hearing more of the locale as I know there are islands nearby that you can find sand dollars on!
Beautiful Thanksgiving love story. Light read, fun and did I mention the recipes are included-priceless!
Other works by the author are summarized at the end. Felt this story had a bit of everything-something for everyone including: God, romance, mystery, comical encounters with spouses to be, mysteries of the sea, cooking with love.
I received this review book from the author and this is my honest opinion.
