Publisher Description
The island harbors a dark secret, but God's about to light it up.
Emily has moved to a remote island off the coast of Maine to start her dream job—high school English teacher.
At first everything seems perfect, a dream come true, but soon Emily notices a few things seem off. Can an entire town really be this obsessed with basketball? And why do some of the athletes seem to be protecting some big secret?
Emily is tempted to be distracted by the handsome lobsterman, but is he in on the secret too? Why won't anyone tell her what's really going on?
The more Emily learns about this island, the more she knows things need to come to the surface. But there are a lot of islanders who want to keep it all buried. If Emily pushes, she might lose her job. She might lose the lobsterman.
Emily will have a choice to make. Should she risk everything to make things right?
(This is the first book of the Piercehaven Trilogy, but it is also a standalone novel.)
Customer Reviews
Piercehaven
Loved the book. Could not put it down. Loved the characters and story line.
Piersihaven
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.
5 Star Review!
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!
