Summary

Newly widowed mother Abby Baker goes home to Hope Harbor to help her ailing mother and restart her life. Weighed down by grief and fear of failure, she wishes she had the strength of her grandmother, who raised a young child alone while taking on the role of lighthouse keeper after her husband drowned. What was the secret of Granny Abigail’s strength?

Carson Stevens is a lighthouse enthusiast who has bought the deteriorating Hope Island lighthouse to restore it and turn it into a bed-and-breakfast. When he meets Abby, he wants the attractive granddaughter of the former keepers to be part of the restoration. 

As Abby and Carson work together, they uncover clues to a family secret that threatens to change Abby’s life forever. But someone is trying to sabotage their efforts at restoration.

Renovating the old lighthouse is Abby and Carson’s goal, but as they grow closer, they discover that what they’ve really needed is a renovation of their hearts.

Critic reviews

"Who doesn’t enjoy the beauty of a lighthouse and the lure of the rocky coast of a Maine island? While reading Abigail’s Secret, I was moved into thinking the lighthouse and its island are metaphors for brokenness and loss, that bring back wholeness and love, while revealing "Abigail’s Secret". To quote, “She (meaning Abby, Ms. Turk’s heroine) was connected to the island as if it, too, were a relative.” Readers of contemporary romances will want to add this novel to their list of favorites." (Rita Gerlach, author of the Daughters of the Potomac series)

"A lighthouse. A new friend. A family secret. Abigail’s Secret delivers a sweet story of family relationships and new beginnings, with a bit of mystery thrown in. Turk skillfully weaves past and present into a story sure to touch your heart." (Anne Mateer, author of Wings of a Dream)
