A family torn apart by the effects of war must now deal with the trickle-down effects of peace: the collapse of the kelp industry on which they depend. Sheila McLean worries about her children getting ahead in the rapidly industrializing world of 1822, while her second husband Gillan is never quite sure about his ability to replace the father of her children. Neil, the firstborn son at sixteen, must put duty before his own hopes and dreams, but what about when love enters his life? Muirne, younger than Neil by a year, can no longer count on a dependable future in her own parish, and wants to find a way to contribute to her family s safety, too. But is marriage the only way to do it? Little ones Sheena and Alisdair are swept along with the tides of change as the McLeans flee their home in search of peace and security. But where will they find a new place to call home? When will the keening end, and their new lives begin?

PurpleTulipGirl The streets are damp here on the coast, due west of you, but we haven‘t had much rain in weeks. The marine layer is hanging around a bit more, though. 4y
MargaretPinardAuthor Doesn‘t it feel restful, @PurpleTulipGirl ? I think it‘s delicious! A little early perhaps, but welcome 🤗 4y

I'm thinking of running a triple-punch giveaway... Something like a copy of The Keening, an exclusive excerpt from Book 2, and a chance to name a character in Book 3... Would anyone find that compelling enough to leave a review, d'ye think?
