Strawberries in the Sea (Joanna Bennett's Island Series by Elisabeth Ogilvie

Rosa Fleming motors her way to Bennett's Island in the dark of the night, fleeing her divorce, her philandering husband and the gossipmongers of her hometown. On the Island she discovers not only a refuge to heal her emotional wounds, but also a community that nurtures her battered confidence and a man who teaches her to love and be loved as an equal. When a fight breaks out between the island's lobstermen and the invading fishermen who disregard the island's longstanding customs, Rosa steps into the struggle and saves a man's life. She blooms in the crisis, but her growth may be at the expense of her fledgling romance. Strawberries in the Sea is a story of self-discovery and rejuvenation, as a sad insecure woman realizes her own inner beauty and personal strengths. Elizabeth Ogilvie transports her readers to another time and place as she infuses her characters with the convictions of real and powerful human emotions and spins her tale with tenderness and keen sensitivity. Bennett's Island breathes off the page of the book with the vitality and depths of its inhabitants. At turns lyric, uplifting and romantic The Strawberries in the Sea, the final book of the Lover's Trilogy, renews faith in the power of community and inspires yearning for a simpler bygone era.
