I found this a difficult book to read because it is the second in a series and I have not read the first. The characters were too extreme to be believeable, either good or bad; either enthusiastic or angry.
I can't believe one would tie her horse and buggy to a hitching rail outside of the lighthouse with no food, water, or shelter in face of a hurricane.

In Lady Lightkeeper, talented author Nikki Leigh has crafted another riveting tale that will yank at every string in your heart. Loss is an inextricable part of life for the people of Misty Cove and Lizbeth has experienced more than her fair share. We learned in Widow's Walk that Lizbeth will not let adversity steer her off course.

As Lady Lightkeeper opens she awaits her beloved William's return from the sea, unaware that she will be tested in ways she never dreamed possible. Now, with two young children, she must forge a new life. The ever-loyal and loving Sara is there to help and support them even after a rift develops that tests their affection. Lizbeth's independence has always been a source of both admiration and rebuke amongst the townspeople, but it becomes clear that her tenacity and determination make her the right person to be the next lightkeeper, rather than the more experienced southerner in their midst.

Intertwined with Lizbeth's story, is a colorful cast of characters. These include the secretive assistant lightkeeper and the acid-tongued Ida who seems to have a hidden agenda where Lizbeth is concerned. In Leigh's expert hands their secrets unravel logically and meaningfully, leaving the reader feeling rewarded for having spent time with Lizbeth and the people of Misty Cove.
