About this ebook

From MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Judy Leigh

‘Brilliantly funny, emotional and uplifting’ Miranda Dickinson

In the imposing Glen Carrick House overlooking Scotland’s famous Loch Ness, lives eighty-eight-year-old Mimi McKinlay, cared for by her three adult sons.

Hamish has inherited his mother’s musical talents, Fin is the responsible brother, and Angus has the complicated and brooding personality to match his dashing good looks.

But what all the brothers share is a concern that their beloved mother is living in her memories of her days on stage, while letting her present days pass her by.

Jess Oliver is at a turning point. Amicably divorced after years of being married, this trip to the Highlands is a first taste of independence. It isn’t long before the beauty and hospitality of Scotland captures her heart.

When Mimi and Jess’s paths cross, a friendship is formed that will change both women’s lives. And as together they find ways to look forward instead of to the past, long forgotten dreams are within reach, and every new day is fresh with possibilities.

Take a trip to the Highlands with Judy Leigh for an unforgettable story of glorious pasts and fabulous futures, of love, friendship, family and fun. The perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Dawn French, Dee Macdonald and Cathy Hopkins.

I honestly revere and adore Judy Leigh. This was an insightfully bittersweet tale, written with profound inner musings and perceptive observations and laced together with clever prose that alternated between heart-squeezing tenderness and smirk-worthy humor. Ms. Leigh magically conjures unusual yet lovable characters who never fail to endear as well as delightfully entertain. I treasure and covet her word skills.
