The struggles, hardship, and joy of one woman's life on a Maine island are brought to life in this haunting and enduringly popular trilogy, the first three books of the Bennett's Island series. Elisabeth Ogilvie tells the story of Joanna Bennett and her colorful life on Bennett's Island with a sensitivity and truthfulness born of her own early years on isolated Criehaven, the real Bennett's Island.

Review:

The magic of the memory of a Maine day at its brilliant best, bringing back the nostalgic delight of a childhood summer, perhaps perfect in happiness, uncapturable now except for remembering...[T]he kind of transposed reading-into-actuality that leaves you practically as healthy and sunburned as two weeks vacation. Boston Globe
