In this new coastal series, Lin Stepp transports her readers into the rich, colorful lives of Burke and her sisters, Lila, Gwen, and Celeste, who grew up at the Deveaux Inn and Lighthouse on a windswept island, accessible only by boat. Get ready to be introduced to the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, challenges and adventures of a Lighthouse Keeper.

Life had grown hard for Burke Deveaux at the family inn and lighthouse since her father died. She missed his warmth and still expected to see him walking into a room, his big laugh booming. Burke and her mother were gradually adjusting to the change, and Lila had come home this winter to help, but the workload was heavy. With spring coming and tourism picking up in the South Carolina Lowcountry, Burke welcomed Hal Jenkins’ request for his son Waylon to work for them. Waylon, retiring early from the Navy, knew the island and the lighthouse, having grown up nearby. Burke also knew Waylon well since they’d grown up together. He’d always been older, and she wondered how he’d see her now.

Waylon had been away from Edisto Island for over twelve years now, traveling around the world in the military, but it felt good to be home. He’d hated learning Lloyd Deveaux was gone, the warm-hearted Lighthouse Keeper he’d followed around as a boy. But he liked the idea of coming to stay at the lodge at Watch Island to help the Deveaux family with the inn, lighthouse, and nearly five-hundred acres of land the Lighthouse Station occupied. He knew Burke had picked up many of her father’s old tasks and he looked forward to seeing her again. He’d kept feelings for her clamped down for years but one look at her brought them surging back. How would he handle that with them working together?

MY REVIEW  

Burke, takes over the duties as lighthouse keeper after the death of her father. Burke's mother continues to run the Lighthouse Inn with Burke's help. Her sisters, Lila, Gwen, and Celeste all have lives of their own, or at least they did.

Light the way is about family hardships, forgiveness, and coming together when times are hard. The characters, all so very different, but still united and willing to do what it takes to support each other, are a charming, witty, and loving group.

I loved the faith aspect of Lila in particular and her deep insight into the Lord and willingness to counsel her sisters in times of need. Burke, a strong and well-focused woman gave her all to anything she did.

Waylon was one of my favorites. He grew up with the Deveaux sisters but had an extra fondness for Burke. Their sweet romance woven into the story was beautiful and heartwarming.

The addition of great descriptions of the setting and a suspenseful event made the story perfect. It's my first read from this author but it won't be my last. Highly recommended.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily choose to review it.
