Mackinac Island Trilogy #3
Return to the Island
Is Mary home for good?
It is the spring of 1818 and Mary O'Shea has returned from England to her beloved Mackinac Island. She loves her life on the family firm and knows that she chose wisely in declining a marriage proposal from James Lindsay, a young duke she met during her travels. She is also delighted to once again spend time with White Hawk, her dearest friend. And although he is often called away to defend Indian claims to native lands, Mary cherishes White Hawk's visits, and hopes that one day he will stay forever. Then suddenly Mary's future comes into question when James appears at her doorstep to ask for her hand—and refuses to leave until she consents. Now it seems that the only way for Mary to discover what her future holds is to uncover the truth of her own heart.

Amazing! I [almost] cried... (I didn't though. :D)

Mary O'Shea is no longer a child, but a young woman of eighteen. Having returned to her frontier home on the Great Lakes island of Mackinac after a visit with her sister, she is able to bid farewell to her ailing father before his death. Now she is keeping up the farm she inheirited with the help of her older brother and his Indian wife. But when the English suitor she refused, James, follows Mary to Mackinac to once more try to win her heart, she finds herself torn between him and her childhood friend, White Hawk, an orphaned Indian boy raised by a childless white couple. Her feelings for White Hawk have become romantic, and a marriage to him will allow her to remain on the island she loves. It was quite clear to me from the beginning what the outcome of this book would be, but I enjoyed it anyway. I am a bit sad that this is the final book, but it is a fitting end - Mary, a child in the first book, has grown into a married young woman with a home of her own. A highly statisfying conclusion.

This book was such a sweet slice of nostalgia. I read the trilogy when I was young, and it was so fun revisiting them. The story is lovely, but I also love the setting of Mackinac Island, Michigan, especially now that I live in Michigan and plan on visiting Mackinac Island myself in the near future. (!)

Idl that this isn’t the same illustrator as the others. She looks different on every cover!
This takes place two years after Mary went to England.
Her dad died. Her sister has a ninth month old son. Jacques has a son.
I liked the tale of Arch Rock, how the Ottawa legend says She-Who-Walks-in-the-Mist met a handsome brave. They fell in love but her dad wouldn’t let them marry because he was the son of a sky spirit. Her dad tied her to a rock, and as she wept her tears washed away the rock, forming an arch. Her brave came back for her and took her to his home with the sky people.
I didn’t like that Mary danced many times with the man Elizabeth was interested in, so that when Elizabeth tripped her and ripped her dress it was deserved. Mary tried to warn her but she didn’t pay attention.
These books are so lacking; Mary is all dressed up for the dance and White Hawk doesn’t show up. That would have been a good scene.
They sleep in Black Kettle’s tepee and the sleeping arrangements aren’t even told. Did White Hawk sleep there? Was he near Mary?
As before, White Hawk’s hope to help his people just seems hopeless. Even though he wants to keep up with the government’s plans for them and negotiate for his people.
Mary’s plan to catch the grave robbers was like her plan to catch the cow thieves in book one.
I like the tidbits on Native American life, like how Indian kids are allowed to stay up as late as they want.
I loved when White Hawk finally heard about James.
“If it’s a castle you want, Mary, I’ll build you one of logs. You can wear your fine dress to dinner and ease your waist and take off your shoes whenever you wish.”
It was nice of James to want to learn to farm so he could be of help to Mary while he changed her mind about her marrying him and moving to England.
From the moment James met the West’s, and Emma looked at his drawings, I didn’t like what was shaping up there. Can’t she see James is there for Mary? Is Emma doomed to like other women’s men?
I love when Mary jumped into the boat with Jacques, White Hawk and James & her brother was mad and James was worried for her, but White Hawk stuck up for her.
‘White Hawk was grinning. “Mary has tracked down grave robbers and captured ruffians bent on stealing her cow. Let her stay. I’m sure she will discover a way to help us.”
‘How I loved White Hawk for believing I was a help and not a hindrance. Before any further argument could be made I took up a paddle.’
-‘James’s voice was full of excitement. “And we’ll be ready for them!” He looked at me. His excitement turned to worry. “Mary, you should not be here.”
White Hawk gave me an amused look. “James, you have much to learn about Mary.” No further word was said about my presence.’
They captured the men sent to take the Gauthiers trade goods and mess with their canoes. They trapped them in the bog and then tied them up. They were using foul language, even worse when Mary announces she destroyed their canoe, and James covered her ears! Lol When they tried to sleep the men didn’t stop cursing so James dumped cold water on them and said ‘“Mind your manners. There are ladies present. After that all was quiet.’
White Hawk clearly showed he had feelings for Mary in this book, yet I wanted an answer on why he never made a move or did anything about it before. And then commented on Jacques’ Indian wife as if he wanted one for himself! It’s like he thought Mary would always be there waiting for him. That’s why I’m glad he had some competition. He needed some shaking up, a kick in the pants to get him moving. Her sister married and had a kid, Jacques married and had a kid. Mary was definitely old enough for marriage.
‘I believed that James, for all his adventurous spirit, would expect his wife to distort herself like a lady, while White Hawk, who had lived among the hardy island women and the women of his tribe, was more ready to let me do all I wished.’
When he went off to sketch with Emma he didn’t look back. She felt that he saw American women as interchangeable, that Emma would do if Mary wasn’t available. That if it had been Emma with him on his roof he would have proposed to her too. It’s so messed up.
‘I looked out from my leafy height across the tall pines of the island at the two lakes that joined one another. There was no castle on the island, but no princess could have loved her kingdom more than I.’
Emma runs and tells Mary that James proposed and she said yes, having no care that James and Mary liked each other first and night marry.
Emma’s mother didn’t approve, thinking him to be a poor artist, and was clearly waiting to tell them he’s actually a duke’s son, and Mary goes and ruins the surprise. That’s for James to say.
Of course Mary has a plan to get back at James for his mischief.
Mary was right to feel jealous even though she knew she cared for White Hawk more,& would never live at James’ castle,& that she couldn’t be quite happy for Emma and James.
Indians call it the Moon of the Yellow Leaves in September.
At the wedding, they don’t even get a dancing scene. This is all: ‘As always White Hawk guesses my mood. He stopped me as we were gliding over the parlor floor.’
The chief Black Kathleen said White Hawk must give her a deer. No Indian girl would marry a brave unless he gave her family at least one deer to prove he was an able hunter.
Mary teaching was random to me, came out of nowhere. Just because she wished Pere Mercier taught girls too, she just up and becomes a teacher! That, she felt, was her higher purpose.
Of course Mary had an idea about feeding White Hawk’s people. No one else has any ideas, just her.
It’s funny like the poem they read white Hawk said don’t think him a laggard in love, cause that’s exactly what he is!! He’s had Mary there since they were kids and never did anything about it!
I didn’t like that marriage with white Hawk meant farewells, cause he’s always going away. She’d be like the wives of the voyageurs.
Mary was annoying, wanting to get back to the farm for Belle’s calving, because white Hawk promised her he’d take her back, but warned of the northern wind and the ice on the lake,& they could have died. They had to abandon their canoe which got crushed by the ice.
Jacques went out on the ice to get them. When Dr. West said she had a brave brother, who risked being carried away by the ice, he said it sss bravery, it’s him not wanting to help belle give birth to her calf. Not funny.
She wanted a window even though white Hawk warned of the cold and the expense of glass, yet he gave her the biggest window on the island, declaring it “a wedding present.”
James has an exhibition of his paintings. Someone declared White Hawk a “handsome savage.” And James told them he’s a fine scholar. He should have given the painting to Mary!
‘I’m afraid James let his imagination carry him away, for he has a most frightening painting of what appears to be himself, M. and Mme. Gauthier, some burly Frenchmen, and our own Jacques tying up four thugs. Surely Jacques and James would never be a party to such scurrility.’ Hahaha! Mary had commented that night that James memorized the scene of all of them before the fight and would probably paint the scene!
It’s sad that James had to take over his responsibilities and wouldn’t be able to paint anymore. He said “That part of my life is over.” Painting Angelique’s son Matthew was his last painting. Seems like he’d still be able to paint every now and then...You don’t have to completely give it up.
“Oh, Mary, if you only knew how long I had hoped that one day you and my Gavin would be married. From the moment you were children running about the island together I felt you were meant for one another.”
That’s so sweet of his mom to say!
I liked the mention of the Indian dress; the chief had a topknot of eagle and hawk feathers. Red calico shirt over deerskin leggings. Some wore British military coats. Silver disks in their ears, silver bells around ankles. Faces painted yellow and red.
The women wore deerskin dresses with beads and dyed quills on them, and silver bands on their arms.
The preacher included the Ottawa marriage words: “White Hawk and Mary will walk the trail together. White Hawk and Mary will share the same fire.”
So lacking in romance. Not a kiss! Even at the wedding. Imagine getting engaged and never kissing your fiancé. She’s old enough for romance to be in here.
And then as if white Hawk hadn’t enough to deal with, on their wedding day, at the ceremony, on the last page of the freaking book, he has news that people want to buy their land AGAIN! And he’ll be going. AGAIN.
I guess it’s consolation he said she’ll go with him. And that they’ll have the summer on their island.
‘All that summer we might have been the only two people on the island, and the island all our own.’
The ending could have been a lot better. It wasn’t even that happy of an ending.
There’s not enough dialogue in her books. Too much description. And Mary has no personality on the page.
As with each book in this series, not quite sure what to rate it. Better than two stars, but not quite 3. So 2.5 stars

The final book in the trilogy!
I cringed a bit at the romance triangle, but this is probably perfect for the target age group (ages 9-13). It is clean, teeny-bopper style romance. I was satisfied and happy with the resolution.
I liked that the story taught life lessons - like not everyone wins. A (random) fisherman dies, highlighting that life is dangerous. Even with the happy ending, the harsh realities of life are present.
What? Now the brother WANTS to be a farmer?! A major plot point in the last book was that he didn't want the family farm!
Lots of laughter in the book! Humor is used to diffuse situations. Clever trickery/pranks used instead of open fighting.
Lots of catholic customs referenced. :-)
I would buy this series (high praise!) and re-read it every few years before Mackinaw Island trips.

Spring of 1818 and Mary is living on the island again. Her father passed away so she has taken over the farm. Mary is happy with her life on the island, but she does question things a little when James Lindsay shows up on the island. Soon both James and White Hawk are competing for Mary's hand. However, it doesn't matter what they do because the decision is up to her.
The third and final book in this series. I love Mary. She is a great character. Independent, thinks for herself, even in a time when women weren't supposed to be like that. And I am really happy with how it ended, who she chose. But I knew she'd pick him. Definitely a great series.

A nice conclusion to the trilogy, although Mary had already "returned to the island" at the end of the prior book. Everything wrapped up nicely, even though I would've happily read another book with Mary and White Hawk starting a family or traveling to England to see Angelique or seeing how Mary's students/school continued. It was a pleasant, if not overly memorable, trilogy about a place I love.

Some of best books ever!

I love these books! It is an amazing series, and Gloria Whelan is an amazing author.

A beautiful ending to a wonderful series.
August 12, 2018
With never having read a historical fiction book/series before, I was recommended this book as well. With historical fiction not being a genre that I read, this series is one of my favorites. Gloria Whelan is a fantastic author. She was able to not only make me fall in love with her book, but made me want to read the other two books that followed. She has inspired me even more to write my own books and showed me how different forms of great writing through a different genre that I wouldn't normally read. I would recommend Gloria Whelan if you are looking for a good read about hard ships, family, and the great out doors! Definitely a 10/10

This book, aside from the boring bits with James which were quickly dealt with, was a very nice read. It ended pretty much as expected, but I enjoyed the journey. I felt the characters and plot were very well-developed, especially as this book is marketed to the much-younger crowd (if the huge font size and type setting is anything to go by, haha). Looking back on the series, this was a lovely little revisit of my childhood.
(Also I feel I should mention that I thought the Native Americans were treated respectfully in the books, and their struggles against the white settlers are portrayed very sympathetically. I didn't feel like the author relied on any stereotypes, harmful or otherwise. Then again, I'm not Native myself, so, you know. Take it with a grain of salt.)

This book uses the familiar plot device of “which suitor will she choose.” Mary is a lucky lady to have two such nice men ‘battling’ for her! I could see a lot of the plot points in this coming, but I still enjoyed it. I like White Hawk a lot, but I think their marriage is definitely going to try both of them, with his need to be away so much. Overall, I found this to be a fitting and satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.

1818 Michilmackinac Island. 18 year old Mary has returned to her farm and the island she loves. She finds herself caught between White Hawk and Lord Lindsay, who has followed her from England, who both want to marry her.
In order to appreciate this conclusion to the trilogy, I think you have to have at least read the second book. I would recommend this book to someone who read the second book. The story does provide some information about the time period.

The plot was so predictable I can't say that I liked the novel. But the young audience it is written for will really enjoy it. The love story is concluded and it isn't an easy life that Mary chooses. Her husband has responsibilities to his Indian tribe that will take him away from her months at a time. But his loyalty to his people is one of the reasons she admires him and loves him.

What a perfect wrap up to The Island Trilogy!
I am SO happy on how Mary's life ended. It was so nice to hear that Once on This Island had sequels. If you want a similar story, read Princess Academy and it's sequel Palace of stone. It is very good, and it was nice to read a similar story, with a different genre, and different POV. Definitely try that!
