Loch Ewe, 1940. When gamekeeper' s daughter Flora' s remote highland village finds itself the base for the Royal Navy' s Arctic convoys, life in her close-knit community changes forever. In defiance of his disapproving father, the laird' s son falls in love with Flora, and as tensions build in their disrupted home, any chance of their happiness seems doomed. Decades later, Flora' s daughter, singer Lexie Gordon, is forced to return to the village and to the tiny cottage where she grew up. Having long ago escaped to the bright lights of the West End, London still never truly felt like home. Now back, with a daughter of her own, Lexie learns that her mother-and the hostile-seeming village itself-have long been hiding secrets that make her question everything she thought she knew. As she pieces together the fragments of her parents' story, Lexie discovers the courageous, devastating sacrifices made in her name. It' s too late to rekindle her relationship with her mother, but can Lexie find it in her heart to forgive the past, to grieve for all that' s lost, and finally find her place in the world?

Her love for both of these countries, their people and their histories, has found its way into the books she' s written.
