Lis is an artist and just needs a break so she returns
home to Driftwood Point. Near Driftwood Point is another
small town known as St. Dennis. The people in St. Dennis
didn't
always associate with Driftwood Point. As much as Lis
wanted to be friends with her classmates from St Dennis
her
father never allowed it.
Now Lis comes back to visit her great-
grandmother Ruby who is one hundred years old but
still runs the family store. Lis notices a lot of
changes to the old house, Ruby no longer lives upstairs,
but on the lower level. Who made all these changes?
Come to find out it was Alec. Alec was a classmate of
Lis when they were in high school. Alec has always liked
Lis, even asked her to the prom. But because of the way
Lis was raised, she couldn't accept the invite.
Lis is very suspicions of Alec, why is he doing all this
work for her grandmother? Lis did find out that Ruby
has given Alec the old boat that was her uncle's. Is this
why he did the work for Ruby? While Lis is not ready to
trust Alec, she realizes that they both have the same
goal in common; to take care of Ruby and protect Driftwood
Point.
I have read many of Mariah Stewart's books. I truly
enjoy The Chesapeake Diaries. Each one is
better than the
next. I have also loved the way she describes the
small towns and the lives of the people in them. She
shows how much a
small town means to the people who live in it as they will
do anything to protect the people who live there and their
way of life.
DRIFTWOOD POINT is also about how a romance, even though
over
twenty years, can blossom. We also meet Lis's brother,
Owen. Even though we're told this series is over,
I have a feeling the next
book should be about him and I can't wait for
that one to come out. Will he finally find happiness
himself? As is always in Mariah Stewart's series, one
never knows what will happen in Driftwood
Point.
The sun sets on the Chesapeake Diaries, New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart’s cherished series based on Maryland’s picturesque eastern shore, with this romantic tale of a man who takes a second chance on love with the high school crush who broke his heart. Up-and-coming artist Lisbeth Parker finally has a chance to show the folks back home what it means to leave Cannonball Island and make something of yourself. As a native whose stubborn father forbade her from befriending townies, Lis always felt like an outsider in St. Dennis. So while her work is on display in the local art gallery, she records her ailing centenarian great-grandmother’s stories of the island’s rich history and spearheads a fight for its survival. Lis was Alec Jansen’s secret dream girl growing up, even after she flat-out refused to be his prom date. Now the handsome environmental engineer and the whip-smart beauty are on opposite sides of a debate over the island’s future. Hired to prove that developing the shore will have little impact on the area’s natural integrity and huge gains for its economy, Alec is determined to change his alluring, headstrong rival’s mind—and to win her heart.
