Little Great Island

Growing up on Little Great Island off the coast of Maine was idyllic. After ten long years of estrangement, Mari McGavin has finally returned, with her son Levi in tow. She has escaped the farming commune, aka “cult”, that silently destroyed her relationship with her parents and her past. But she is back to save her son - and herself from the misguided, violent behavior of Pastor Aron and the flock that blindly follows, even her beloved husband Caleb. Levi is only six years old and his grandparents instantly fall in love with him. Without pressuring Mari for fear she will abandon them again, they know she is hiding from something or someone. As she begins rebuilding her life and caring for Levi to the best of her ability, Mari turns to sustainable farming, her passion and expertise before she dropped out of graduate school. She reconnects with old friends and mentors learning that the island and their fishing way of life has deteriorated and it is up to her to rethink the future and create ways the islanders can thrive and survive. As personal battles heat up, greed trumps thoughtfulness and Mari is determined to save the island the only way she knows how. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
