Book Of The Month:
Smoke on the Wind
By Kelli Estes
Set in the Scottish Highlands centuries apart, two mothers walk the same path. Keaka, a modern woman hiking the West Highland Way with her son before he starts university, begins having unsettling visions of a woman from the past. That woman is Sorcha, a mother in 1801 who has been violently evicted from her home and is now fleeing a murder charge she didn't commit. As their journeys mirror each other, the two form a connection that defies time and logic, drawing strength from one another as they each fight to protect their sons and find their way forward.
