Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island Book Author: Carrie Fancett Pagels What do you like about this book:
"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."
Ben Staffan is well aware of the "Lord taketh away"; having survived disinheritance and unimaginable heart ache, he is now poised to make something of himself; arriving on beautiful Mackinac Island, Michigan as an undercover society columnist for the Detroit Post, tasked with writing a scintillating expose regarding wealthy women being courted for the size of their fathers' bank accounts. The island's Grand Hotel has become a popular trolling ground for treasure seekers. Ironically, Ben, alias Friedrich Konig, is poised to discover a rare gem of his own.
Maude Welling's entire future has inextricably collapsed; instead of marrying her long time sweetheart and managing her family's historic inn together, she comes face to face with indescribable humiliation; Greyson Luce disembarked the ferry accompanied by his beautiful wife. Determined to prove herself worthy of entrepreneurship, Maude goes undercover herself, as a maid in the Grand Hotel.
"My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island" is a menagerie of story elements, fitted together beautifully with rhythmic ebbs and flows, while whispers of humor, romance and intrigue cascade over characters valiantly struggling to discover God's perfect will for their lives.
