Will promises and choices lead to happiness or heartbreak?

Scotland, 1900

When working class Christy Craig marries the wild and wealthy Andrew Melville, an unequal union is formed, frowned upon by both families.

While Andrew is away at sea, Christy pursues a career producing perfume and cosmetics, causing tension with Andrew who believes she should devote herself to their two small children and himself.

When a family tragedy drives Andrew to New Zealand, Christy is left at home juggling family life and revitalising her father's soap-making business.

Meanwhile Andrew begins calling on Isobel Armstrong an old childhood flame and old passions and temptations are reignited.

When Andrew finally returns home for his mother's funeral seeking reconciliation – some welcome him more than others…

Storytelling at its best, Evelyn Hood is the original bestselling Scottish saga writer. A heartfelt historical book about survival and reconciliation from Sunday Times bestselling author Evelyn Hood
