Whose Waves These Are A Novel By Amanda Dyke from
Bethany House Publishing. In the wake of WWII, a grieving fisherman submits a
poem to a local newspaper: a rallying cry for hope, purpose, and rocks. It's
message? Send me a rock for the person you lost, and I will build something
life-giving. When the poem spreads farther than he ever intended, Robert
Bliss’s humble words change the tide of a nation. Boxes of rocks inundate the
harbor village on the cost of Maine, and he sets his callused hands to work.
Decades later, Annie Bliss is summoned back to
Ansel-by-the-Sea when GrandBob, the man who gave her refuge during the hardest summer
of her youth, is the one in need of help. But what greets her is a mystery; a
wall of heavy boxes hiding in his home. Memories of stone ruins on a nearby
island ignite a fire in her anthropologist soul to uncover answers.
Together with the handsome and enigmatic town
postman, Annie uncovers the story layer by layer, yearning to resurrect the
hope GrandBob once held so dear and to know the truth behind the chasm in her
family’s past. But mending what has been broken for so long may require more of
her and those she loves that they are prepared to give.
My Opinion: This book is relatable with its
storyline along with finding a way to deal with a loss in your life. I like how
Annie delves into the mystery of trying to figure out the family’s past.
