She is raised by her grandfather, Captain Isaac, who teaches her the ways of the sea and instills in her a deep love for her island home.As Mara grows older, she begins to question the traditional roles of women in her community and dreams of a life beyond the island. However, her plans are interrupted when she falls in love with a young man named William, who is determined to leave Orr's Island and make his fortune in the city.The Pearl of Orr's Island is a beautifully written novel that captures the essence of life on the coast of Maine.
