Smoke on the Wind: A Novel
In the magnificent Scottish Highlands, two devoted mothers separated by centuries discover a haunting connection in a gripping novel by the USA Today bestselling author of The Girl Who Wrote in Silk.
Struggling with the tragic end of her marriage, Keaka Denney is on a bittersweet adventure in Scotland with her son, Colin. She's joining him on a weeklong hike along the West Highland Way before he enters university in Glasgow. Soon into the journey, Keaka's disquieting visions begin--a woman from ages past reaching for Colin, a burning cottage, violence.
Scotland, 1801. After Sorcha Chisholm and her son are wrenched from their home in a brutal eviction, they face an arduous trek toward a new beginning. When Sorcha learns she's wanted for a murder she didn't commit, she and her son run for their lives. Then help arrives from the strangest woman in the most unexpected ways.
Centuries apart, Keaka and Sorcha walk the same path--devoted mothers in circumstances beyond their control who will do anything to keep their sons safe. Defying logic, they find strength in each other. But what does their connection mean? And how far will it go?

Without giving too much away, I found myself getting emotional towards the end of the book, picturing myself in their shoes as a fellow mother of sons. Even though the pacing was quite slow and some plot points underwhelming, I’m so glad I had the opportunity to read this book. I recommend it for lovers of historical fiction that pack an emotional punch.
