In the shadow of the clearances on the north coast of Scotland, Betsy Robertson came into the world, a cursed and unwanted baby.
She was a child with a secret. Determined to be someone in her own right. But in a time when girls lacked rights and opportunities, in all but love, if they could find it.
Betsy did, but not where she expected to.
Love drove, taunted, and confused her. Could she push her dreams and ambition aside for just the love of a man?
But he was no ordinary man, no ordinary love. He was the love of her lifetime.
Would love conquer all?
We follow Betsy’s journey as she battles conscience, stigma, and fate towards a dramatic conclusion.
