On Harbor's Edge: 1912-1913

Book 1

De: Kate Hotchkiss

Narrado por: Laura Dehler

When an unsuspecting bride gets into a boat one stormy June day in 1912, Thaddeus takes her far out to sea to the end of Popplestone Isle. There, harbor folk welcome Mildred with hopeful joy, but she discovers the tiny fishing village is headed for a most dreadful end. In her efforts to save their treasured island home, Mildred must risk losing everything she holds dear.

On Harbor’s Edge is the first in a series of dramatic tales from 1912 to the present, set against the backdrop of magnificent coastal scenery. While the Popplestone Isle story is fiction, some of the hurdles Mildred faced over a hundred years ago still challenge those on small islands today.

A popular book club title, On Harbor's Edge addresses social issues with historical perspective in addition to being an entertaining book for the beach.
