To Light the Way Forward, by Nancy Naigle, is an interesting tale set in a small town on Whelk’s Island, North Carolina. Tug Basnight owns a simple oceanfront diner on these sandy shores. He is lonely after the loss of his best friend, Maeve; however, when a hurricane shows up, Tug’s life is definitely affected!
When Rosemary leaves for a trip to Whelk’s Island to visit her friend, she hopes the storm will not arrive while she is there. Unfortunately, her wish is not fulfilled!
The final storyline involves Paul and Amanda. They each have active lives on Whelk’s Island. Paul had been best friends with Amanda’s late husband. You see a potential relationship forming between these two; however, first they must survive the storm barreling down on them!
