Book Review: Sunrise on the Battery
Sunrise on the Battery by Beth Webb Hart introduces readers to Charleston family of Mary Lynn & Jackson Scoville and their three daughters Catherine, Lilla and Casey.
Mary Lynn and Jackson both had meager upbringings and have worked diligently to provide a better life for their daughters. The story is told through the eyes of Mary Lynn and Jackson as well as Catherine, their oldest daughter. In the process of creating a better life full of enriched opportunities for Catherine, Lilla & Casey, Mary Lynn & Jackson are also doing well obtaining elite social status in the Charleston community. Yet in the midst of living a dream life, Mary Lynn feels an emptiness and is drawn to exploring the meaning of faith through a women’s Bible study. She prays for her husband to know Christ but is unprepared for his “all in” response as it quickly upsets their social standing.
Sunrise on the Battery was a good book, a sweet story, and I loved that it incorporated a third set of eyes by allowing Catherine to tell parts of the story.
