MY THOUGHTS:
This is the second book in the Amherst Island series. I really enjoyed this story. I thought that the author did an amazing job in bridging the gap between the first book, The Orphan’s Island and this book, Dreams of the Island.
Ellen leaves Amherst Island, the place she loves and calls home. She moves to Glasgow as she feels like she is finding her way in life. As the war continues she finds herself leaving Scotland to be a nurse on the frontline. Ellen recognizes some familiar people on the front line, like her childhood sweetheart, Jed, and his brother Lucus. Ellen must make some tough decisions as she faces her past and embraces her future.
This engrossing page-turner will have you cheering Ellen on and grabbing for the tissues. You will find yourself connecting with the characters as you fly through the pages. Ellen will feel like a best friend and a sister. You will be her biggest cheerleader as you find yourself encouraging her to find her way in life. This was a great read and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

1911, Amherst Island, Canada: When a chance encounter takes Ellen Copley away from the beautiful island she has called home since she was orphaned as a child—she believes it is the new start she has been waiting for.
She settles into an exciting, creative new life in Glasgow, feeling like she’s finally finding her independence. And even though she left a part of her heart back on the island, she’s flattered by the attentions of her handsome, charming benefactor, Henry McAvoy.
But tragedy strikes their fledgling relationship, and soon after war looms over Europe. Emboldened by all she has loved and lost, Ellen leaves Scotland to become a nurse on the front line. And, as she finds herself having to choose between love and duty, desire and bravery, her courage is tested as never before..
The war rages on—and familiar faces appear on the front line, including her childhood sweetheart Jed Lyman and his brother Lucas. Coming face to face with her past, Ellen will learn what she is made of. But can she finally decide where her heart truly belongs?
