Scotland, 1940s. After the unexpected death of her beloved father, sixteen-year-old Rachel O’Brian is sent to live with the Maxwell family. Life is hard for Rachel, toiling on the Maxwell farm under the hateful eye of Gertrude, the family’s matriarch. But the younger Maxwells welcome Rachel with open arms, especially Ross. Slowly, the two fall in love and Rachel once again tentatively allows herself to dream of a future. But tragedy strikes once more when Ross suddenly disappears during a business trip away and Rachel finds herself destitute and heartbroken once more.
BOOK 2: THE SECRETS THAT BIND US
Scotland, 1948. Young Bridie Maxwell has spent all her life on her family farm — the work is hard but love is plenty. When she meets her big brother Conan’s best friend, the dashing Nick, love blooms. But it’s not long before life tests them. Meanwhile, Bridie’s school friend Fiona Sinclair returns from the city to look after her dying mother. She’s comforted by a sea of familiar faces who welcome her home, but there’s one person in particular who catches her eye — Fiona’s childhood rival, Conan Maxwell . . .
BOOK 3: DREAMS OF THE VALLEY
Scotland, 1950. Rachel Maxwell’s two older children are happily married with prospering businesses and lives. But her youngest child Ewan is more naïve and sheltered. Ewan wanders through life carefree and without any direction. When a young woman named Gerda arrives at the Maxwell family party, she immediately catches Ewan’s eye. But Rachel can’t shake a feeling of unease . . . Ewan, blinded by love, marries Gerda, and their union soon sparks a terrible chain of events that threaten the entire family and community. Can Rachel save her family from Gerda’s malice before she changes their lives forever?
BOOK 4: SOMEWHERE TO CALL HOME
Scotland, 1980s. Following the death of her father, Tina Donnelly arrives on the Maxwell farm to nurse the family matriarch Rachel. She soon meets the devilishly handsome Paul Maxwell, Rachel’s grandson, and sparks fly between the two. But Tina is determined to keep things professional, which suits Paul just fine. Abandoned by his mother as a young boy, the last thing he wants is to fall in love and open his heart once more. Yet try as she might, Tina can’t help feeling drawn to the Maxwells and the peaceful Scottish lowlands. Can Tina and Paul heal from the scars of their past and find their way to each other?”
