Publisher Description
A crumbling lighthouse is not part of the inheritance Army doctor Ben Garrison expects to claim when he journeys to Hope Harbor. Fresh out of the service, he wants only to unload the tower of bricks, decompress from years of treating battlefield trauma, and prepare to launch his civilian career.
Hope Harbor Herald editor Marci Weber has other ideas. She may not be a Hope Harbor native, but the small Oregon seaside town has become home--and she's determined to save the Pelican Point landmark.
Sparks fly as the two go head to head over the fate of the lighthouse. But when they start to cooperate, a different kind of fire ignites. And as they work together, might Hope Harbor heal the hearts of these two romance-wary souls?
Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites readers back to their favorite town for a story that will light a beacon of hope within their hearts.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This fourth novel in the Hope Harbor series from Hannon (after Sandpiper Cove) introduces army doctor Ben Garrison to the Oregon coast. Ben used to spend summers at Hope Harbor, taking long walks along the shore, but hasn't been back for years. When his grandfather dies of a heart attack, he returns to handle the funeral and figure out what to do with the lighthouse that he didn't know his grandfather owned. When Ben decides to sell the aging landmark and join a medical practice in Ohio, Hope Harbor Herald editor Marci Weber, determined to find a way to save the lighthouse, tries to convince him to restore it himself. Although the pair tangle at first, they begin to work together to see if the lighthouse can in fact be salvaged. Hannon adds a frisson of mystery around the history of the lighthouse to keep readers turning pages and writes eloquently about the roadblocks veterans face when they return to civilian life. Hannon touches on themes of overcoming the past through new relationships, bonding with unlikely allies over a mutual goal, and the recuperative power of securing a family legacy all of which make for an inspiring narrative that will please her large fan base.

HEARTWARMING!!
HEARTWARMING! Lghudson, Mississippi
Dr. Ben Garrison has just returned from active duty as a orthopedic surgeon. He has mustered out but before he can begin the next chapter of his life, he must return to Hope Harbor settle his beloved Grandfather’s estate. Sounds simple enough because his Grandfather “Skip” lived a fairly simple, frugal life. That is until Ben found out Skip left him the Pelican Point Lighthouse. While Pelican Point was full of history and sentiment it is now a crumbling old relic. What does a doctor do with a lighthouse? As a newcomer, Ben begins to discover what an important role Skip played in the lives of the townspeople. He also begins to understand the importance of Pelican Point. It’s a beautiful story of watching God do the impossible with willing vessels. It shows a community full of love and friends that support one another. Strangers become friends in the process of saving Pelican Point all manner of new and exciting possibilities are on the horizon. I was provided an ARC of this book by Revell and NetGalley. The opinions expressed here are completely my own and without influence.
PELICAN POINT
PELICAN POINT by Irene Hannon Revell
Ben just learned of the unique asset to his grandfather’s estate.a lighthouse. A nightmare as far as he was concerned on Pelican Point.
Two years ago it was auctioned off and only bid was his grandfather’s. How could he sell if it needed work. He had just mustered out of the service, and was going to join a practice as a surgeon in Ohio. Then meeting Marci who owns the biweekly newspaper, and her plans for the lighthouse. They started off at odds, but could that change. A delightful story of finding love, and a purpose for themselves, but for the town. Given ARC by Net Galley, for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
