    About this audiobook

    Little did Maggie Duncan know how great the sacrifice she would be making. Forty seven years have passed since she was separated from her beloved Scotland and her beloved husband, Ian. More than time and oceans seem to have conspired to keep them apart, but Maggie continues to trust in the Lord and never gives up hope. Through forgiveness and acceptance, she comes to believe that all things happen according to God's will and in His time.

    Michael Phillips

    Professor Mike Phillips has a BSc in Civil Engineering, an MSc in Environmental Management and a PhD in Coastal Processes and Geomorphology, which he has used in an interdisciplinary way to assess current challenges of living and working on the coast. He is Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research, Innovation, Enterprise and Commercialisation) at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and also leads their Coastal and Marine Research Group. Professor Phillips' research expertise includes coastal processes, morphological change and adaptation to climate change and sea level rise, and this has informed his engagement in the policy arena. He has given many key note speeches, presented at many major international conferences and evaluated various international and national coastal research projects. Consultancy contracts include beach monitoring for the development of the Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay, assessing beach processes and evolution at Fairbourne (one of the case studies in this book), beach replenishment issues, and techniques to monitor underwater sediment movement to inform beach management. Funded interdisciplinary research projects have included adaptation strategies in response to climate change and underwater sensor networks. He has published >100 academic articles and in 2010 organised a session on Coastal Tourism and Climate Change at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris in his role as a member of the Climate, Oceans and Security Working Group of the UNEP Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts, and Islands. He has successfully supervised many PhD students, and as well as research students in his own University, advises PhD students for overseas universities. These currently include the University of KwaZuluNatal, Durban, University of Technology, Mauritius and University of Aveiro, Portugal. Professor Phillips has been a Trustee/Director of the US Coastal Education and Research Foundation (CERF) since 2011 and he is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Coastal Research. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Geography, University of Victoria, British Columbia and Visiting Professor at the University Centre of the Westfjords. He was an expert advisor for the Portuguese FCT Adaptaria (coastal adaptation to climate change) and Smartparks (planning marine conservation areas) projects and his contributions to coastal and ocean policies included: the Rio +20 World Summit, Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts and Islands; UNESCO; EU Maritime Spatial Planning; and Welsh Government Policy on Marine Aggregate Dredging. Past contributions to research agendas include the German Cluster of Excellence in Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM) and the Portuguese Department of Science and Technology.

      Because I wasn't really enjoying the novel after a third of it or so, I switched into skimming mode.But, after the first two novels in the trilogy left a lot of loose ends rather than coming to satisfying conclusions for me, and I do want to read the related series after this one, I stuck with this novel just enough to get the important facts.I'm semi-disappointed that a certain instrumental good guy from the previous book doesn't appear in this one. So unless he or something of his shows up in the following series for some reason, I'm assuming that character is the kind who just doesn't get what he really wants. The saga could leave him behind without a satisfying conclusion of his own because the main story arc didn't need him anymore.Anyway. Even though I haven't cared for the writing style or the characterizations in this trilogy, I remained interested in the overall story, and I was pleased to see the saga's loose ends come together at long last. Even if it felt a little contrived to resolve so many details at once to finally make the ending happy, my sentimental side is still glad for the plot's sake.Hence, I'm doing what I normally don't do: picking a rating to signify how I feel about a book I didn't finish. (That is, even though I made it through to the end of this one, I skipped around and skimmed my way there.)
