Kathryn Lynn Davis returns to wild, idyllic Glen Affric, home to the memorable characters in Too Deep for Tears, and draws us into a world of suspense and haunting emotion....

During the spring of 1988, on a small Scottish island battered into stark beauty by the sea, eighteen-year-old Eva Crawford leaves her childhood home to unearth the truth about herself, her mother, and her family.

She is soon spellbound by the story of her ancestors: Ailsa Rose Sinclair, who rejoiced in the paradise of Glen Affric...Ian Fraser, Ailsa's never-forgotten first love...Alanna Sinclair, Ailsa's daughter, who met the love of her life in the peace of Glen Affric. Each had to confront their own demons, old loyalties and new betrayals, as a devastating tragedy loomed....

One hundred years later, Eva Crawford must learn to forgive the mother she never knew, to move toward the future, and the man who wants to open her heart to the greatest treasure her family can offer....
