Summer in the Spotlight by Liz Johnson

 

Book Description:  A hurricane may have destroyed her livelihood on Prince Edward Island, but she's determined to save her community

Kelsey Ahern has performed at the Victoria Playhouse on Prince Edward Island every summer since she was seven. But when a hurricane destroys the building, it's not just her memories that are in jeopardy. Her future as a teacher and drama coach are too. She teams up with Levi Ross, the facilities director at the high school, to produce a benefit show to raise money to rebuild the theater. He has a reputation for being able to fix anything, and Kelsey is sure there's more to the quiet man than meets the eye. 

For his part, Levi has admired Kelsey for years, but he can't seem to find the words to tell her. When a popular weatherman arrives in town to cover the aftermath of the hurricane and takes an interest in Kelsey and her show, Levi realizes that the time has come to speak up--or lose the heart of the woman he longs for. 

My Thoughts:  It's be awhile since I've read a book by Liz Johnson so I was excited to receive her newest novel, Summer in the Spotlight.
Liz does a fantastic job of creating characters that are lifelike and seem to have that jump off the page and into our hearts kind of reader love.
Sometimes it seems that there are life storms that come to disrupt our lives when, in fact, these life storms set everything right in our lives. Such is the case in Kelsey Ahern's and Levi's life.
Kelsey has her heart set on performing at the Victoria Playhouse on Edward Island so when a terrible hurricane destroys the building and so much more including Kellsey's dreams. 
Then Levi Ross comes along he and Kelsey decide to produce the show at the local high school and raise money to rebuild the building.
Such a wonderful story full of hope and love.
