Mysie Lonie was only sixteen when her drunken father sold her for thirty pounds as wife to ugly, middle aged Jeems Duncan. Taken to live on his croft, Rowanbrae, she tried hard to make the best of her lot and, in time, bore Jeems two sons - Jamie, the light of her life, and unhappy, difficult Sandy. In 1913, as the storm clouds of war gather, love comes with unexpected force and brightness into Mysie's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the conflict of loyalties it brings sets off a chain of terrible events that eventually leaves her bereaved, homeless and marked by a secret she can never betray.

Her path will bring her further trials - also many joys - but finally she is given the chance to leave her tragic past behind and enjoy true happiness ...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDive into a compelling narrative filled with insight and depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiscover perspectives that will expand your understanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExperience storytelling that captivates and inspires\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRead another celebrated title from Birlinn Ltd - Independent Scottish Publisher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoris Davidson\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Aberdeen in 1922, the daughter of a master butcher and country lass.
