Lizbeth Sullivan's father is Captain of the fishing vessel Misty Pride. Lizbeth worries
each time there is a storm and her father is out at sea. On the eve of her pending
marriage to William, a storm begins to rage. Watching from the Widow’s Walk, a small
platform atop their house, Lizbeth prays the Misty Pride will be safe.
William has loved Lizbeth ever since he can remember and cannot wait to marry her.
Rushing to check on her well being during the storm, he goes against propriety to see
her alone at home and stay with her.
It is October 1841. The storm worsens and, along with Lizbeth, he is horrified to
discover the lighthouse is not lit and the Misty Pride in trouble. Begging Lizbeth to stay
home, William gets help and goes to the lighthouse. He finds the keeper passed out on
the floor. Knowing it is too late for the light when he sees men in the water, William goes
to the stricken vessel in search of Lizbeth's father. Lizbeth is devastated by the tragedy
and the wedding is postponed. An investigation is begun to find out who is to blame for
the accident. Lizbeth struggles between her urge to speed up the enquiry and marry
William and to do what is considered proper by society.
The first in a series of three books, Widow’s Walk has intriguing sub plots and support
characters. Nikki Leigh pens a very strong-minded heroine in Lizbeth. With excellent
character portrayals, this book is one you can really sit back and relax with. It takes in
quite a span of time, finishing in 1852, so the reader gets the satisfaction of seeing
Lizbeth and William's realization of their dreams. If you love historicals, do not miss
Widow's Walk.
