World War II historical fiction has been done, done, and done again...but Tracy Groot does it in a refreshing and interesting manner. Her new novel, The Maggie Bright, introduces us to a unique cast of characters with a vested interest in a little yacht--one that ends up playing a big part in the Dunkirk rescue of British soldiers.
The novel's main character, Clare Childs, loves the yacht she didn't expect to inherit. She dreams of going around the world in it, in fact. However, her simple and somewhat lonely world is rocked when she meets some unusual characters and learns of the heroic history her yacht already possesses. Soon, she will learn that The Maggie Bright has another appointment with destiny...and that dreams can come true in ways we don't plan.
This is a sweet story demonstrating that when good people act, evil can be thwarted...one small ship at a time.
I received this book free of charge from Tyndale Publishing Company in exchange for a fair review.
