I just finished reading Maggie FitzRoy’s second novel, Beacon Beach. It’s perfect reading for a summer day. It takes you back in time to 1886 in the seaside town of Cape May, NJ. Maggie does a great job of describing resort life in the Victorian times as the romance of Jacy and Cole blossoms.

This was a real sweet story that was told very good. I enjoyed the trip by wagon across the country.

I like to read historical fiction that is accurately researched and presented so realistically that I feel like I am there, and Maggie does that. In addition, this book has a witty plot that kept me on the edge, full of surprises as the pages turned. But what I loved the most about this novel were the characters, their challenges, dreams, and approaches to life that led them on to accomplish the nearly impossible, time after time. Can hardly wait to open Maggie’s third!

Reading, very well written.
Maggie, just finished, do we have a sequel? Hope so. Very enjoyable read. Good Luck, know this journey will be great.

I loved this book and was sorry to see it end. The author tells a beautiful story of the trials and triumphs on a wagon train headed for Oregon. Historically accurate, this book let’s the reader became part of the character’s lives. I loved the surprise ending.
