The Heather-Moon

Nineteen years old and already a prisoner. Barribel MacDonald has never seen her mother's face, never heard her name spoken in her grandmother's grim house on the Scottish moors. The attic is forbidden, its door always locked, but when Barrie finally slips inside, she uncovers her mother's elegant dresses, a portrait that breaks her heart, and the truth: the mother she was told abandoned her is alive in London. That night, with barely more than a bundle of treasures, Barrie runs. What follows is an adventure through Edwardian England, a journey of self-discovery, and a love story that unfolds against the haunting beauty of the Scottish Highlands and the glittering danger of London. This is a novel about breaking cages, blood remembering what we're taught to forget, and the courage it takes to seek the truth when it might destroy you.
