Sun, summer, and a scrumptious sailing instructor - what more could a girl want?

Spending the summer of 1895 at Lake Manawa is the perfect way for spunky Marguerite Westing to escape her agonizingly boring suitor, Roger Gordon. It's also where she stumbles upon two new loves: sailing, and sailing instructor Trip Andrews. This summer of fun turns to turmoil as her father's gambling problems threaten to ruin the family forever. Will Marguerite marry Roger to save her father's name and fortune? Or will she follow her heart - even if it means hurting the family she loves?

Full of sharp wit and blossoming romance, *Making Waves* will whisk you away to a breezy lakeside summer holiday.

Fortunately, there's another book to follow. I can't wait!"

Blossoming romance (and sharp wit) on a lakeside summer holiday
Marguerite Westing is constantly pushing the boundaries of proper behavior in 1895 with her interest in astronomy, sailing, and other unfeminine pursuits. Her father indulges her, but her mother insists she marry Roger Gordon, a wealthy, socially prominent but boring and self-absorbed businessman. Marguerite's besetting sins are her flippancy, her impulsiveness, and her tendency to lie in order to get her way, all of which continuously land her in trouble. At Lake Manawa, a popular Iowa summer resort near Council Bluffs, she meets Trip Andrews, a boatmaker who needs to win the regatta and really doesn't like liars, and by lying she convinces him to teach her and her younger brother to sail. They fall in love, but Roger keeps turning up at the camp to badger her into accepting his suit, and Marguerite learns that unless she does, her entire family will suffer financially. Seilstad's light Christian historical romance sets the stage for subsequent tales featuring Iowa's elite at summer camp. \\r\\n\\r\\n
