A Summary of A Wreath of Snow:
It’s Christmas Eve 1894 and all Meg Campbell wants for Christmas is a safe journey home. When her plans for a festive holiday with her family in Stirling crumble under the weight of her father’s harshness and her brother’s bitterness, the young schoolteacher wants nothing more than to return to the students she loves and the town house she cherishes in Edinburgh. Then an unexpected detour places her in the path of Gordon Shaw, a handsome newspaperman, who struggles under a burden of remorse and shame. These two stranded travelers discover they have previously crossed paths and both are seeking peace and redemption.

Oh, Angie, what a kind review! So glad you enjoyed our snowy visit to Victorian Scotland with Meg and Gordon. My historical novels are usually 150,000 words; novellas are more like 35,000. So, my editor told me, "Just think of it as a short story, Liz!" Tee-hee. Care to take a virtual tour of Scotland with me? Check out my new fiction website. God bless! http://www.MyScottishHeart.com
How honored I am you stopped by, Liz! And yes I would like to take a virtual tour of Scotland. I've been over and repinned from your Pinterest page ;) Hope to one day go stay for a month in Scotland and trace that side of my ancestry...and then of course, write some fiction books about those folks!
Angie
