The only survivor of a 1800s shipwreck, Polly was barely old enough to speak when she was rescued off Martha’s Cove, Nova Scotia. Her adoptive family named her after the cove, forbidding her speaking of her former life. A hard-scrabble life awaits her, saved only by her new brother, Joseph. Meanwhile, her grandfather, who had sent for his English daughter’s family to come to the New World, is tormented by the shipwreck. After fifteen years, are their paths destined to cross?
Another clean uplifting novel by Deb Graham with a strong female character. Be sure to look at her other fiction!

Author Bio:
Lucky you– You found Deb Graham! Deb is the author of nearly thirty books, both fiction and nonfiction, several of which are best-sellers and award winners. The best-selling Cruise Addict’s Wife series is a must-read for anyone planning any cruise anywhere, laced with stories about her innocent (so he says) husband, also an author.
Deb’s novels are engaging, funny, and wholesome, with no profanity (you can let your grandma and ten-year-old enjoy them with you!) and characters you’ll fall in love with. Interested in writing your own personal story, learning to complain, need some activities to wrangle the homeschoolers and cub scouts? Longing for a sweet Christmas story? You’re in the right place!

Living in the Pacific Northwest, Deb enjoys travel, reading, cooking, and exploring new farmer’s markets. You’ll love her gently-haunted ghost stories, ideal for reading aloud. Cruise travel, vacation planning for Alaska and the Mediterranean, plus tips you can use on any trip, Tips From The Cruise Addict’s Wife is a consistent best-seller. Along with More Tips From The Cruise Addict’s Wife, you’ll be the most-informed passenger on any cruise ship, while saving you a boatload of money. All that knowledge won’t hurt your head: Deb’s background in stand-up comedy spills into her writings.
Leery of writing fiction for many years, Deb finds she enjoys novel-writing almost as much as travel books. Peril In Paradise, a cozy mystery set on (where else?) a cruise ship, takes you to Hawaii, with details rich enough to plan your own cruise. It’s based on one of Deb’s many cruises…minus the crime scenes. Murder On Deck is set in Alaska, on a cruise, and it’s selling like crazy. The Cookie Cutter Legacy is a historical multi-generation story told by 95-year-old Henrietta. In the Dim-Witted Hitman, meet Dimmie, a reluctant albeit skilled hitman caught in a life not of his choosing. How often do you find yourself cheering for the Bad Guy? When his path collides on a cruise ship with the former mob boss he’s been sent to kill, only one can leave the ship alive. Pick up a couple of haunted B&B stories with Thymes and Seasons and the Ghost in the Bakery for lazy evenings. You’ll love the strong female characters in One Daughter at a Time and Martha’s Cove.
Deb’s superpowers include: being able to spell-check and grammar-check with her brain, heading up the making of 1006 quilts for Project Linus, having a quick mind that enables her to improvise on a dime, her talent as a skilled bargain hunter, including being able to find name-brand items with store tags still on them in second-hand stores with laser focus, and a sense of humor that gets her through many adventures and scrapes.
Deb loves travel, anywhere that involves a suitcase, or -–better yet—a passport. She has three grown kids, and eleven grandchildren who are cuter than yours. It seems that many books’ flyleafs tell that the author lives with a spouse and assorted cats. Deb Graham loves her husband, but sadly, has no cats.
