The Light Before Day

Suzanne Woods Fisher writes incredible Amish Fiction and now she has branched out into writing about the beginnings of the Quaker faith, especially on Nantucket Island. She writes with a depth of understanding that is fun to read.

Mehitabel (or Hitty) and her twin brother Henry have inherited their grandmother's estate, not because of any closeness they had with their grandmother, but because the rest of the relatives ranked lower on her scale than Hitty and Henry.  The only thing is that she put some conditions on their inheritance. The money has to be used to better the island and not get into the hands of one specific relative. They also have to be married before she would have turned eighty and the spouses must have "the Look" of being related. 

The lawyer helping them with the estate is a bit shady, or maybe even a whole lot shady.

The Light Before Day is one of those books that hooks the readers and reels them in until the very last page, leaving them shaking their heads at the implications of all that's happened. Hitty and Henry are empathetic characters that will pull on the readers' heart strings.   Five Star Book, Two Thumbs Up, and a Cent School for preschoolers.

I want to thank Revell for allowing me to read and review this book, and NetGalley.com for providing the galley I read.
