A passionate, off-beat love story set on the bleak and beautiful island of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Shortlisted for the WAVERTON GOOD READ AWARD 2006 & runner-up for the PURE PASSION award 2006 (North West Libraries' award promoting romantic fiction.)

SYNOPSIS
Rose Leonard is on the run from her life.
Haunted by her turbulent past, she takes refuge in a remote Hebridean island community where she cocoons herself in work, silence and solitude in a house by the sea. Life and new love are offered by friends, her estranged daughter and most of all by Calum, a fragile younger man who has his own demons to exorcise.
But does Rose, with her tenuous hold on sanity, have the courage to say "Yes" to life and put her past behind her?...

"I dropped everything to read it. Read it that very night, in fact. In one solid chunk. I had things to do, sleep to get, work to wake up for, and yet none of it mattered and nothing could tear me away from this breathtaking story... I've been dreaming of Scotland for the past several nights and I have this book to thank for it."
