It was Christmas Eve of 1894 and Margaret (Meg) Campbell was
heading home to Edinburgh. She planned
on spending Christmas with her family in Stirling but the bitterness of her
younger brother, Alan, was too much to bear.
Her brother was tangled in a web of unforgiveness and anger as he was
involved in a terrible accident when he was younger. He also struggled with feelings of inadequacy
as he felt he could never quite measure up to his sister. A conversation between him and Meg turned
into an argument that was too much for Meg to bear. As much as Meg wanted to spend Christmas with
her family she decided it was best to catch the next train home. During her travels she met a handsome man
named Gordon. Gordon has secrets that
will soon come light. How will Meg react
to the news she is about to find out?
This is the first book I have read by this author and I must
say that I enjoyed it. The book was well
written and was not entirely predictable. It was great reading this during the
holidays. I also enjoyed the Scottish Shortbread
recipe at the back of the book, as well as, a Reader’s Guide. This is truly a wonderful story about the
power of forgiveness and how one can be free from the past.
