The Shetlands Islands are off the coast of mainland Scotland
and Whales Reef is where Michael Phillips places this story.
This is a wonderful way to learn about the people and
geography of this part of the world.
In brief here is what you will find in this story.
Loni Ford’s unexpected inheritance of substantial real
estate-not to mention a title in the Shetland Islands has caused more than a
stir in the quiet fishing hamlet of Whales Reef. How can life ever be the same
with an outsider-and a woman at that-playing such a pivotal role in the life of
this traditional community? But it isn’t just the locals who have deep
misgivings about the current situation. Loni herself never imagined this in her
wildest dreams and wonders whether she’s cut out for it.
Loni would hardly let herself acknowledge that she’s falling
in love-with Whales Reef, with its hardy people, and with local chieftain David
Tulloch, whose inheritance she has usurped, at least in the eyes of some. Or
has she merely been seduced by the simple, peaceful way of life that exists
here?
Yet life in Whales Reef is rarely without drama, deep rifts
exist between certain lifelong neighbors, and when a dead body is discovered,
suspicion is cast in the direction of the Tulloch family. How Loni and David
face up to this challenge will profoundly shape their relationship, as well as
the future of the island.
My wife and I enjoyed this complete series and especially
enjoyed the way the author brings in the story of Loni’s ancestors through
journals and letters that she acquired.
This series of books is a great way to travel to Scotland
and the Shetland islands without having to leave the comforts of your home and
learn of the people and the land; the spiritual and family values that the
story brings in add to the value of this inspirational story.
Look for this entire series at your local book store or on www.Amazon.com
