Publisher's Book Description
"Brianna is the youngest of the three Porter sisters and the only one who chose to stay in the small town of Splendid Lake, North Carolina. She followed in her father’s footsteps and became an expert boat mechanic, helping him run their small resort with cabin rentals, a convenience store, and a marina.
When Brianna’s father unexpectedly dies, Brianna is steeped in grief and guilt—then left alone to clean up the mess. To make matters worse, a constant stream of real estate brokers begins marching through her property, offering to buy the family land. In particular, she keeps running into handsome real estate mogul Scott Gibson.
As Brianna struggles to keep it all together, Scott finds his way into her heart. And as the two fight against their feelings, they just might find themselves forging a surprising and exciting new love at Splendid Lake."
My Review
The Heart of Splendid Lake, by Amy Clipston, is a special novel that features a satisfying blend of touching drama, genuine emotion, and sweet romance. Page after page, this novel offers a contemporary story of friendship, family, new beginnings, and unexpected possibilities.
A charming lake-front property in a small town in North Carolina, provides the ideal setting for a story of love, loss, and hope. Featuring appealing characters, an engaging plot, and significant themes, this novel is memorable and moving. The well-developed characters are authentic and compelling. As they face heartache, fear, and uncertainty, they risk vulnerability, honesty, and trust in order to save what they hold dear. With perseverance and determination, they endeavor to overcome great difficulties in order to find healing and wholeness. From beginning to end, this book offers an entertaining story that graciously and effectively explores friendship, family, purpose, and commitment. As these themes are developed throughout the novel, the story becomes especially meaningful and inspiring.
A skilled writer of fiction, Ms. Clipston always succeeds in crafting stories that are thoughtful and enjoyable. Like all of Ms. Clipston’s novels, The Heart of Splendid Lake offers an entertaining story that is relevant and well-written. It is a truly irresistible novel that is worthwhile and uplifting.
