This is the third book in the Cape Light Series, and I found it enjoyable reading, although not as captivating as book 1. As this book opens, it is Thanksgiving and Cape Light Mayor Emily Warwick is delivering a pie to the would-be man of her dreams, Dan Forbes, who owns and publishes one of the small newspapers that serve the region. As you might predict, that relationship blossoms as this book continues.

Very enjoyable, as with the others in the series, but still some sad doctrinal flaws that are self- rather than God-focused, ex.:
Page 115: He gives the reason for giving: "Giving makes us feel good about ourselves... and closer to God." This is a needs-based view, and is self-focused, so it is not glorifying God.
Page 128: "...she deserved to be happy. She deserved better than this, at least." We are not to see ourselves as higher than we are without Christ. What do we really deserve, since we ar...more

A Gathering Place, the third installment in the Cape Light series. Coming back to Cape Light is where everyone feels at home reading these books. They are comforting.
With the Cape Light mayoral election over, Emily Warwick is now able to concentrate more on her relationship with her now found daughter, Sara Franklin, the daughter she gave up some 20 years ago.
She regrets all the years she spent apart from Sara due to her mother's (Lillian Warwick) influence. Emily, also, seems to be having more...more

A small town place. Rev.Ben tries to help everyone out and fines he needs to do the same for his family. His people in church helps his family out. But his son is on the outs and doesn't want any thing to .do with the . When does come home, with his sister and Mom......
I just love this series because the characters and the situations that their lives place them in are so true to life. There is love, anger, heartbreak, jealousy, competition, self awareness, friendship, believing in God, to questioning ones own faith,and having a sense of what family and community is all about wrapped up in one little town called Cape Light!!!! I love how the characters age range from new born, with their whole life ahead of them, to the very old, who are set in their ways and t...more
I find myself captivated by this series, enjoyable read, not deep and serious, just a good read with characters I've come to know.
There is such a great flow with this series. I can't wait to go on to the next one. Each one is better than the last.
This book reminds me so much of life in a small town and to remember to slow down and appreciate the ones that I love.
I enjoyed the other books I've read in this series more but still liked this one too.
enjoyed reading....want to read more of the Cape Light books.
A nice relaxing read.
As always, absolutely LOVED this book. Thomas Kinkade is far more than some amazing artist that I knew him as. His books are addicting!!!
I think it was the second in a series. Pretty good read.

So good
Very easy to read, light book. Predictable, happy endings, but I was drawn into the characters. Very quaint.If you want a feel good book that is not super cheesy this series is good. I like to read them when I don't want to think too hard.
Another reread for me but well worth my time. I love the Cape Light series and get to enjoy the adventures all over again. I highly recommend these books for everyone!
#3 in the series. I enjoyed it. Rough to get through but worth it. I'll definitely read #4.
Another good read from the Cape Light series...uplifting and touching.
These stories have you wanting to move to this area of the country...
Nothing wrong with this book but just a so/so book.
