Sometimes love hurts—and sometimes it can heal in the most unexpected way. Camden Grayson loves her challenging career, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. “Moving on” is Cam’s mantra. But there’s a difference, her two sisters insist, between one who moves on . . . and one who keeps moving. Cam’s full-throttle life skids to a stop when her father buys a remote island off the coast of Maine. Paul Grayson has a dream to breathe new life into the island—a dream that includes reuniting his estranged daughters. Certain Dad has lost his mind, the three sisters rush to the island. To Cam’s surprise, the slow pace of island life appeals to her, along with the locals—and one in particular. Seth Walker, the scruffy island schoolteacher harbors more than a few surprises. With On a Summer Tide, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher begins a brand-new contemporary romance series that is sure to delight her fans and draw new ones.

My Review:

This is the first book I’ve read by Suzanne Woods Fisher that isn’t from her Amish genre. I’ve loved all the books I’ve read so far and this one looked pretty interesting. This is the first book in the “Three Sisters Island.”


 The story did some character and plot build up in the first three chapters for me to wrap my mind around the characters and a taste of the plot. After that the book had me captivated throughout the rest of the story.


Families aren’t as connected as they use to be in today’s world. Everyone is connected by social media and hearing a family’s voice is very uncommon in most families today. This story had a beautiful reminder for me that family is so important. 


The main characters are three sisters. I love that they all have strong faith and yet have issues or character flaws that they deal with. It makes the characters more realistic. The sisters have drifted apart and aren’t as close as they use to be due to some conflicts. They are all so different in their personality and don’t have much in common. It really brings a lot of depth to the characters and the story. Their father brings them together when he buys a small island off of Maine hoping that it will reconnect them again so they can see what is really important.


At the end of the book is a recipe for chocolate chip cookies with a twist of adding rice crispy cereal. I haven’t decided yet if that sounds good or not! There is also a discussion guide.


This is a heart-warming story that will make you smile, laugh, and shed a few tears. Lots of surprises in this book that was refreshing. I look forward to the other books in this series.

¾ cup sugar
¼ cup soft butter
1 egg
½ cup milk
2 cups sifted flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
