Synopsis

2020 Whitney Award Winner Scotland 1794 For more than twenty years, the Lowland village of Craigmuir has been untouched by smallpox, leaving the people vulnerable to a painful lesson on the price of belonging, belief, and survival. Isla Findlay belongs nowhere. The daughter of a disgraced woman and the Highlander who abandoned them both, she tries to be a dutiful niece to the uncle who has taken her in, blending into the village as best she can. But when a young Highlander's arrival in the area coincides with an outbreak of dreaded smallpox, it stirs up questions about Isla's past and forces a confrontation between the beliefs she holds and the community she wants to belong to. Dr. Graeme MacNeill killed the only patient he ever had: his own father. The only way he can think to atone is to cut all ties from the Lowland world his father hated—including his education as a physician—and embrace the Highland heritage he used to be ashamed of. He travels to Craigmuir to sell the unwanted estate he has inherited from an uncle and return home, but fate—and the red-headed young woman he encounters in the village—have no intention of letting him leave things so easily behind.

When Martha approached me to read her latest book set in Scotland in the late 1700s there was no way I could refuse that type of setting!

Okay, I just need to talk to someone about this book. What an incredible story! This book is different than what I am used to by author Martha Keyes though in a way that definitely showcases her talents as a writer. Set in 1793 Scotland, this book is a bit more serious in nature than her other sweet......more

Such a good book. Loved this. The history of smallpox and variolation was so intriguing. Although this story was about a sad topic and very somber, the writing and storyline were both very good. Clean romance.......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on March 28, 2021

So much more than a romance I love a romance that has a really strong second part to it. This book was so interesting with all of the historical information about smallpox, Scotland, and religion! And of course you’ve got to love a big, strong, Scottish hero!......more

He is met with hostility from almost everyone there, ba......more
