Search And Rescue

The Great Lakes Lighthouse Brides Collection is a wonderful Christian historical collection of seven stories set in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.

A perfectly delightful set of stories.

As a Carrie Fancett Pagels fan, I was delighted to see William Christy make an appearance in the story.
