Ravenwood, a beautiful Scottish estate, is the setting for an intriguing story of adventure, danger, and romance that spans several generations. Here is the story of three women whose love for their native Scotland - a devotion tested through times of political unrest and the horrors of war - is matched only by their love for their men and their families.
Anne, in love with one man but finding herself compelled to marry another twice her age, reluctantly comes to live in the great house at Ravenwood in the year 1707. Bitter over her fate yet determined not to fall into despair, she uses her talents to run the estate during her husband's frequent absences and, in the process, uncovers the truth about his mysterious past.
Morag, granddaughter to Anne, is torn between conflicting loyalties - on the one hand, to her father, who serves in the English army that is set to quell a Scottish rebellion, and on the other, to a Scottish soldier, who has won her heart. Their love for each other and for Scotland takes them to the very edge of death and loss.
Flora, great-granddaughter to Morag, is a strong-willed woman whose sympathy toward the Mormon missionary efforts in the British Isles puts her at odds with her brother, a factory owner viciously opposed to the Mormons. When Flora falls in love with one of those involved in the new church, her will is dramatically pitted against her brother's in his ruthless attempts to control her life.
Tying these women's stories together are the inspiring setting and tradition of the ancestral home of Ravenwood, where each woman finds a source of hope and healing. Thus the author once again delivers a well-crafted blend of suspense and romance that will enthrall her readers from first page to last.
