The Light Continues

Beschreibung

The past and its hurts can be squelched down and hidden carefully away, but life has a way of bringing them back to the surface at the right time so healing and newness can come. Lila Deveaux, the youngest of the Deveaux sisters, who grew up at the old lighthouse inn on the north end of Edisto Island, always walked to a different drummer. A creative soul, living close to God even as a child, she'd stepped away from the world for a time to become an Episcopal sister. However, when the life oddly didn't seem to fit anymore, she returned home to the island to help at the family's inn and lighthouse gift shop and to paint. In the last year she'd seen new, opportunities and directions occur for her sisters, and for herself with her art, but when Edward Calhoun comes back her quiet life and peaceful composure become abruptly challenged. Edward Calhoun postponed returning home to Indigo Plantation after his father's death, not wanting to face all the memories and pains there. As his father's only son and heir, it fell to him, like it or not, to decide on the future of his old home and whether he would stay or leave again. Running into Lila Deveaux, his close childhood friend, fanned old feelings long tucked away. Hadn't she joined that Community of St. Mary and become a sister? What was she doing back at Edisto and why? Ties between them had been broken, like so many other ties, but the spell and beauty of Edisto and its people soon began to work on Edward's hardened heart.
