Once again Lisa Tawn Bergren gives us a story that pulls you in. Full of inspiration, suspense, sorrow and justice. Deep Harbor leaves you satisfied.
Plot: This book picks up where Captain's Bride left off a few years later. We are updated on the lives of Peder and Elsa, Karl, Tora and Kaatje. These characters have found their place in America and living their lives accordingly.
Characters: One of the things I love about Lisa Tawn Bergrens writing is the strength of her female characters. Elsa, Kaatje and Tora are all beautiful women in this book. Some more than others, but they all exude there femininity beautifully. Along with that femininity they are all very strong women. The beautiful thing is they are all truly individual in their feminine strength, trusting God to enable them to battle whatever they face with all the power within them. Peder and Karl exude their masculine strength and are not threatened by the strength of the women that come from their homeland.
Themes: The main theme of this book I would say is forgiveness, restoration and redemption. All three play a part in each of the characters lives. Once again I found myself placing myself in some of the situations in the book and asking myself how I would respond.
Emotion: There is a myriad of emotions felt while reading this book. Each of the characters are experiencing life as it comes at them. This book will make you cry and cheer, wince with empathy and call for justice.
Overall: I liked this book more than the Captain's Bride. It started off fierce and continued through to the end. This book like the first continues to build, highlighting how God can help us in any situation. No one is ever too far gone for the hand of Christ to reach them.
