Description
When a young woman’s carefully planned life is upended, she finds herself drawn to Scotland—where old family ties, unexpected kindness, and the pull of a new beginning lead her off the beaten path. As she navigates unfamiliar landscapes and the stories people carry, she uncovers what she truly wants and what she’s been avoiding. Blending romance and self-discovery, the novel explores themes of belonging, heritage, and the courage it takes to start again. With Patience Griffin’s warm, accessible storytelling and vivid sense of place, this is a heartfelt journey that feels both intimate and expansive.

what a stupid fucking book. no one in that fucking town is sane. every single local is a bastard EXCEPT mattie who is a literal child. i'd whisk mattie, dominic, gabriel, and emma away to safety if i could AND LEAVE CLAIRE BEHIND.<br/>book themes: lack of consent, adult bullying and coercion, dubious sexual content due to lack of consent, traditional wife gender roles, baby end game, religious overtones and moral absolution, and marriage HEA. this book was clearly for religious women trying to rebel a smidge.
