About Nina Jarrett
Nina started writing her own stories in elementary school but quickly grew distracted when she finished school and moved on to non-profit work with recovering drug addicts. There she worked with people from every walk of life from privileged neighborhoods to the shanty towns of urban and rural South Africa.
One day she met a real life romantic hero. She instantly married her fellow bibliophile and moved to the USA where she enjoyed a career as a sales coaching executive at an Inc 500 company. She currently lives with her husband on the Florida Gulf Coast.
Nina believes in kindness and the indomitable power of the human spirit. She is fascinated by the amazing, funny people she has met across the world who dared to change their lives. She likes to tell mischievous tales of life-changing decisions and character transformations while drinking excellent coffee and avoiding cookies.
The Captain's Wife was a story that I read quickly. This Novella was short and fast.
I am learning that when reading a Novella you get a lot of action in a short amount of time. This means that sometimes you lose out on getting to know the characters. I did not find that so with this story.
I got a chance to get to know Lydia and Jacob who were lifelong friends. I also felt their lifetime of love.
Lydia is a resourceful woman who when in trouble and facing true danger was able to find a way out and make a life for herself. She was strong, determined, and intelligent. She also was very much in love with her husband though she never told him.
Jacob is a true American hero. He is fighting a war for his country and comes home only to find he now has to fight for his wife.
I loved the contention between these two friends. You could feel how the friendship turned into love over time. Jacob is a good man but seems to lack the finest to tell people how he feels. Lydia is smart but also not too confident in herself or her ability to capture a man's heart.
I feel reading this book gave me a great understanding of both characters and I felt the author was really good at creating a fleshed-out story in a short amount of pages. I would definitely read more books by this author as she is very good at bringing life to a story.
