At the onset of the Civil War, Sarah Turner’s hope to marry fiancé Josiah Hamilton crumbled when her father forbade her to ever see Josiah again because he chose the Union side. Now the war has ended, and Sarah and her family return to Pensacola to start life over. For seven years, Sarah harbored hope that she and Josiah could be reconciled, but she never heard from him again, and her father is pushing her toward marrying his business partner, a man Sarah has no attraction to. But when she sees Josiah with another woman, her hope of a future with him ends.

Lieutenant Josiah Hamilton has returned to Pensacola as well, as an engineer for the US Army with orders to find the original lens of the Pensacola Lighthouse and build the new keepers’ house. He still loves Sarah, but when he sees her with a young child, assumes she is married, and the child is hers. Meanwhile, Josiah is being pursued by the lightkeeper’s daughter and distracted by an apparent plot to prevent him from carrying out his job.

Who is the arsonist starting fires at area lumber mills? What will happen when Sarah’s life and Josiah’s mission collide with someone who wants to end them both?

My thoughts (Reviewed by guest blogger Marilyn Ridgway): Rekindled Light by Marilyn Turk is another engaging story with the setting in Pensacola, FL during 1869. There is an amazing cast of dimensional characters, picturesque vivid scenes and conversations that will appeal to Christian Historical Romance readers. Charming little Anna Grace, the younger sister of the heroine Sarah Turner, added to the story along with the Della and Doc the free slaves of the Turner family. There’s the element of mystery, adventures, past love that has never died and some unexpected twists and turns. Turk’s research and love for lighthouses comes through in this story as I’ve noticed in all her other books I’ve read. I highly recommend reading each one of the books in Turk’s Coastal Light Legacy series, which are Rebel Light, Revealing Light, Redeeming Light and Rekindled Light.

I received a complimentary copy of Rekindled Light from the author. I was not required to write a review; however, I have expressed my own sincere thoughts.
