About this book
A granite ledge that Jess Hutton scarcely values brings a stranger to his island store with an unexpected offer. The sale gives Jess cause to gather his neighbors for a celebration, where fishing captains trade jokes and wonder what the buyer intends. Charles Clark Munn sets this New England romance among rocky shores, a sheltered harbor and people whose livelihoods depend largely on the sea.
Behind the talk of good fortune lies a less neighborly business. The Rockhaven stock becomes the focus of a scheme involving Weston and Simmons, while Winn Hardy and his aunt have money at risk. A broker's conversation with Jack Nickerson explains how trust can be turned into an advantage for dishonest promoters. The novel offers readers a combination of island conversation, romance and financial plotting, with a storekeeper's apparent windfall opening onto questions about honesty and the price of believing a persuasive stranger.
