(There’s a clue in each book about who the next heroine will be. I appreciate that Hedlund is willing to put her characters through difficulty so they can discover a truer sense of purpose and self and experience greater trust in God.Īs always, I look forward to the next one in the series.

And her words are inspiring, evoking emotion and reflection. She has a unique way of giving historical events such life that it feels like you’re there. I loved seeing pictures of the real lighthouse, and Hedlund always includes some background information on the real setting of her book and the ways in which she deviated from history. Readers Await This Dramatic Conclusion to the Beacons of Hope SeriesTessa Taylor arrives in 1870s Upper Peninsula. But in case you do want to read them and know more about them, you can find out more here and here. If you haven’t read the others (and why haven’t you?), you won’t be lost. While it’s the third in the Beacons of Hope series, and there is a thread to flows through the books, it stands on its own. And with her usual skill, Hedlund orchestrates circumstances that force Tessa to face her greatest fears and decide if love is worth any cost. And Tessa’s passion for her students and the betterment of the community drives her commitment to stay even when faced with obstacles. In this one, I liked the banter between Tessa and Alex. I generally love whatever Jody Hedlund writes, and these lighthouse books have been a great combination of interesting settings and compelling characters.
