Newly widowed Elisabeth Kerr must begin again, without husband or title, property or fortune. She is gifted with a needle, but how will she stitch together the tattered remnants of her life? And who will mend her heart? Her mother-in-law, Marjory Kerr, is a woman undone, having buried her husband, her sons, and any promise of grandchildren. Yet joy still comes knocking, and hope is often found in unexpected places. Mine Is the Night is a sparkling gem of redemption and restoration set in eighteenth-century Scotland.

A mother who cannot face her future. A daughter who cannot escape her past. Lady Elisabeth Kerr is a keeper of secrets. A Highlander by birth and a Lowlander by marriage, she honors the auld ways, even as doubts stir within. Her husband, Lord Donald, has his own secrets, hidden from the household, yet whispered by town gossips. His mother, the dowager Lady Marjory, hides gold beneath her floor and guilt inside her heart. Her two abiding passions are maintaining her place in society and coddling her grown sons, yet Marjory’s many regrets, buried in Greyfriars Churchyard, continue to plague her.
