Making Waves / Lorna Seilstad / 280 pages

This was my second ebook!  This book was set in 1895 Iowa.  Marguerite is being courted by boring Rodger.  He mother encourages the match to the wealthy well-born man to the point she refuses to listen to her daughter's objections.  Her father believes that the decision should be Marguerite's.  The family spends the summer at Lake Manawa, where Marguerite meets Trip Andrews and truly realizes what love, honesty, family, and integrity mean.  Although the characters and events are fiction, Lake Mawawa is now a state park and was all the rage with the well-to-do in the late 1800's, and the author's grandfather lived in one of the boat house converted into a home.

Great Christian romance!
