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.
