Publisher's Synopsis
March 1912. Twenty-four-year-old Elspeth Dunn, a published poet and a fisherman's wife, has never seen the world beyond the Isle of Skye. So she is astonished when a fan letter arrives from an American student, David Graham. Their exchanges blossom into friendship, and eventually into love. But David volunteers as an ambulance driver on the Western Front, and Elspeth can only wait for him on Skye. June 1940: After a nearby bomb rocks her house, and letters that were hidden in a wall come raining down, Elspeth disappears. Only a single letter remains as a clue to Elspeth's whereabouts. As her daughter Margaret sets out to find her mother, she must also face the truth of what happened to her family long ago...
