Clarie Tanner was convinced that she and her brother, Brian, should carry on their father's lobster business, although she was aware that Bennett Islanders opposed winter lobstering for a nineteen-year-old girl and a fifteen-year-old boy. Once Clarie made up her mind to do something, she was sure she could sweep everybody else along.

The Ebbing Tide (The Tide Trilogy)
( As the battle-fit men of Bennett’s Island are called to...)
As the battle-fit men of Bennett’s Island are called to fight in World War II, many of the other inhabitants head to the mainland as well. The small island community becomes a bit of a ghost town, though Joanna Bennett keeps the home fires burning. Rather than dwelling on her husband’s fate in the Pacific Theatre, she devotes her time to the raising of her young son, and keeping an eye on her wild and troubled brother. Even when she is forced into boarding an unwanted guest in her home, she plays her role of hostess flawlessly if coolly, but the guest soon proves his mettle, helping the Bennetts contend with both natural and human elements. When Joanna’s heart softens towards the kind and handsome young man, she finds herself fighting to be true to her absent husband, and facing down old ghosts from her past. As the final book of the Tide Trilogy, this wartime story transports readers to the beautiful and rugged Maine coast, where families must eke out their livelihoods from the tempestuous ocean but in return they’re afforded the daily splendor and simple pleasures of island life.

Vanessa Barton steps onto Bennett’s Island for the first time as if she is stepping into a prison cell. She feels trapped by her marriage, she carries the emotional shackles of a childhood spent as a ward of the state, and she wants nothing to do with the island community. A chance encounter with Owen Bennett sparks off an attraction that brings Vanessa to life, as she discovers something real that eclipses the fantasies of the novels she reads. Owen leads her on a path of self-discovery that forces her to confront long buried feelings and begin healing old emotional scars. Island life shakes Vanessa out of her self-pity but when misfortune knocks once again at her door, she must decide once and for all whether to succumb to the fugue of her earlier days or whether to seize her independence and happiness.

( Young, vivacious Joanna Bennett desperately wishes to b...)
Young, vivacious Joanna Bennett desperately wishes to be captain of her own lobstering boat, but despite being the favored daughter of Bennett’s Island’s founding family, she is still just a girl in the eyes of the community, and a girl living off the coast of Maine in the early 20 th century is expected to mind the kitchen, not tend to pot buoys. While quietly struggling to find her place on insular Bennett’s Island, one where she could let her bold and opinionated nature shine without shaming her family, Joanna instead finds love when she meets a witty stranger with a sparkling smile just off the mailboat. One whirlwind courtship and wedding later, Joanna finds herself master of her own house, and every aspect of her beloved island seems to reflect her joy. But when the luster begins to wear off and her husband’s dark secrets slowly reveal themselves, Joanna must draw on her determination, resilience, and resourcefulness to keep her family together. This evocative coming-of-age story transports readers to the beautiful and rugged Maine coast, where families must eke their livelihoods from the tempestuous ocean but in return they’re afforded the daily splendor and simple pleasures of island life.

Storm Tide (The Tide Trilogy)
( At long last Joanna Bennett is returning to her family’...)
At long last Joanna Bennett is returning to her family’s island, the childhood home that her heart has yearned for ever since she was forced to the mainland by catastrophe. At her side stands Nils Sorensen, her oldest friend, stalwart admirer, and new husband. Together they will restore Bennett’s Island to its former glory: enticing former residents and other hardworking mainlanders to join their small community, repairing damaged buildings pummeled by the elements during five years of abandonment, and reclaiming the lobstering territory that was once the sole province of islanders but has been overrun by the nearby Brigporters. All the while, Joanna and Nils are setting the foundation of their future, one that will surely be stormy if Joanna tries to apply the rules of her previous marriage to her relationship with Nils. Joanna Bennett will always be a strong and fiercely independent woman, but without learning to trust and be vulnerable in her marriage, she will find herself proud and alone. This story, the second book in Elisabeth Ogilvie’s beloved Tide Trilogy, transports readers to the beautiful and rugged Maine coast, where families must eke their livelihoods from the tempestuous ocean but in return they’re afforded the daily splendor and simple pleasures of island life.

In My World is an Island, famed Maine writer Elisabeth Ogilvie tells of her life on an island off the Maine coast. Now back in print, this entertaining first person narrative has been updated with a new selection of photographs and a special epilogue by the author. The unusual thing about this book," says Miss Ogilvie, " is that I had no idea of doing it. I didn't think there was anything outstanding about my life on Gay's Island. However, my agent kept saying, "Try it." It was a great challenge to be interesting, and sometimes funny, without caricaturing people (or inventing them)

A well-known novelist has written a delightful young people's romance set in Maine. Cass had looked forward so long to this summer when she would have a job of her own and a vacation away from the family. Then suddenly, for the first time, she was really needed at home to keep house for her eight-year-old brother, Peter, and to tend the blueberry crop. In unexpected circumstances she meets a young medical student, Adam Ross. She also meets Jeff Marshall and is smitten by his lazy, whimsical charm. Through one crisis after another which she must face alone - from the small ones like the enmity of the family cow and her impatience with Peter, to the problem of getting in the blueberries without the expected help - Cass develops and matures emotionally. A wonderful story by a gifted author about a sixteen-year-old's most important summer.

Whistle for a Wind/ How Wide the Heart
(Both longtime fans and new readers of Elisabeth Ogilvie w...)
Both longtime fans and new readers of Elisabeth Ogilvie will enjoy Whistle for a Wind and How Wide the Heart. The two books of this special two-in-one compendium mark the true beginning of the Bennett’s Island series. Whistle for a Wind is set in 1820 on Brigport (based on the Maine island of Matinicus), where the Bennetts lived before settling on the island that bears their name. Here we meet Jamie Bennett, the patriarch of the Bennetts, and learn about island life during the year that Maine became a state. In typical Ogilvie fashion, the story revolves around a central crisis: Wreckers are luring ships onto the rocks in order to abscond with their cargo. The skipper of the Cynthia is killed in one such raid, and soon Jamie is involved in bringing the killers to justice. How Wide the Heart focuses on Ellen Douglass, daughter of Joanna Bennett and her first husband, Alec. Ellen has returned home to Bennett’s Island after graduating from high school on the mainland. Once there, she is torn between attending a Boston art school and marrying her childhood sweetheart and becoming a lobsterman’s wife. The story becomes more complicated when a summer visitor rents Owen Bennett’s fish house and attracts Ellen’s attention. Filled with suspense, romance, and Ogilvie’s trademark sense of place, these long unavailable books will be treasured by readers who desire to read more about the Bennett family.

Rosa Fleming motors her way to Bennett’s Island in the dark of the night, fleeing her divorce, her philandering husband and the gossipmongers of her hometown. On the Island she discovers not only a refuge to heal her emotional wounds, but also a community that nurtures her battered confidence and a man who teaches her to love and be loved as an equal. When a fight breaks out between the island’s lobstermen and the invading fishermen who disregard the island’s longstanding customs, Rosa steps into the struggle and saves a man’s life. She flourishes amid the crisis, but her growth may be at the expense of her fledgling romance. Strawberries in the Sea is a story of self-discovery and rejuvenation, as a sad insecure woman realizes her own inner beauty and personal strengths.
