Elise's father is the Captain of the Mary Elise, a cargo ship on the Great Lakes. Elise has lived on the boat with her family all her life and now that she is grown up and her mother is deceased, she does all the things her mother used to do, including cooking, laundry and other chores on the ship.
Nick Parker hires on as the First Mate. He grew up in priviledge and then followed his heart and became a ship's captain. After some set backs, and meeting Elise and her father, he asks to be hired on the Mary Elise.
There are a lot of circumstances that need to be resolved to include sheltering Elise's sister from an abusive husband, a possible murderer on the crew and rough weather. This is a great story and I am especially happy about the fact that the main characters had strong Christian ethics and a love for God and the Bible.
I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
