I
didn’t think Laura could ever write a hero that would replace General Seamus
Ogilvy as my favorite hero of hers. And have him now sharing second place with
Xander Renick. Sorry Seamus but not really. But I should have known as soon as
I learned the hero of A Heart Adrift was Captain Henri Lennox a sea
captain that I was going to have a new favorite hero. I blame my childhood
literary crushes on Captain Hook and the Dread Pirate Roberts on my love of
nautical heroes and such.
Esmee
Shaw on the other hand was a bookish kindred spirit not since Temperance Tucker
in A Moonbow Night have I related so much to one of her Laura’s heroines being
a chocolatier aside as I can’t stand the smell of melting or cooking chocolate
(I know I’m weird) but I’ve been that way since childhood. Like Esmee I’m the
older sister who also had watch a father deal with “A Heart Adrift” after the
loss of my mom. She was the compass that always brought my own seafaring father
home through dad was a Marine not a ship’s captain.
That’s
what I love about Laura’s books even you don’t think they are going to there’s
always a small detail a character a scene or quote that’s going to hit your
personally that’s going to say with you long after your close the page.
I’m
also probably reading too much into the Lighthouse being in the story. But to
me it was a reminder of God being the light in the storm getting us safely back
to shore so speak.
