Description

If Francine Rivers met Friday Night Lights

Emily has finally landed her dream job on a remote Maine island—where everyone is obsessed with basketball.

The island is friendly and welcoming at first, but is there a dark undercurrent running through this culture? There are signs that something isn't quite right, and when Emily starts poking around, she meets a resistance that suggests something isn't quite right.

Are they really going to fire her just for asking questions? Is the handsome lobsterman really interested in her? Is he in on the secret too?

There are so many questions. What will it cost Emily to learn the answers?

(This standalone novel is the first in the completed Piercehaven Christian Fiction Trilogy.)

    Didn’t realize it was a Christian book and I generally won’t read them. The writing was above average, but as a teach in public schools the heroine did cross the line many times in this book. If you choose to read this, remember the students that have other faiths or don’t believe the way the heroine does will feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in their own school.

    Loved the book. Could not put it down. Loved the characters and story line.

    I loved this book! As a former teacher, mother of three sons who all played bball in their school years, and a tourist in love with Maine, it all seemed so plausible. Even without the above, the characters, dialogue, and story progression would have earned my praise. I felt as if I was there with Emily as she faced the students, principals ire, a loving fisherman, and the unspeakable crime of a coach. This is a book that I will read again!

    Island status quo is shaken by Emily, the new teacher determined to reach and inspire high school students. The off balance priorities and an arrogant coach clash with Emily’s solid foundation and faith. The plot is original and characters believable which result in an interesting read! I’m anxious to read another Robin Merrill book.
