This book was a pleasure to read set in the early Scotland Era with Lairds and Kings. #GarwoodReadAlong with @StayCurious I loved the chapter a day concept.

StayCurious Thanks so much for joining! 7mo

#GarwoodReadAlong Ch.21: a great way to end the book with all the loose ends tied up satisfactorily. I was happy that Raulf got what was coming to him. And it was great to see Johanna stand up to him. I do think this book held up over time. Was it a bit sappy at times? Of course, but I remember why I loved it the first time I read it.

LiseWorks Yeah it was a good story 7mo
KristiAhlers I loved this reread. Thank you for coming up with this one. 7mo
Ash.on.the.line I just finished it and oh yes it was a great read! 7mo

#GarwoodReadAlong Ch.20: Clare‘s father arrives and demands a son in law. Nicholas, in a show of chivalry, gives himself up. They get married but before they can celebrate, an English army approaches. Johanna knows that it‘s up to her to stop Raulf and King John so she sneaks off to confront her past.

LiseWorks I saw the way Nickolas was looking at Clare. The right thing to do. What is she doing going back to Raulph. 7mo

#GarwoodReadAlong Since I fell behind a bit, I‘m going to try to post a couple times today and tomorrow to finish up. Ch.18: Johanna has a problem: her horrible first husband has come back from the dead! Luckily she had that annulment- although no one has remembered that little detail. Nicholas came back to deliver the news. And Clare has caught his attention.

LiseWorks She even tries to ask Nicolas what he thinks about marriage. I think she notices how they look at each other without looking at each other. 7mo
KristiAhlers My dad has been in the hospital...again and I took this one along to keep me company. I love it nowadays much if not more than when I read it back in the '90's 7mo
StayCurious @KristiAhlers sorry to hear about your dad. I hope reading is a good comfort 💜 7mo

#GarwoodReadAlong Ch.17: Finally, the MacBains and the Maclaurins are coming together. Gabriel and Johanna have put their feet down and their decree is relatively easily accepted. It‘s about time. Johanna decides that Clare needs to marry to save her situation and she sets about matchmaking. Watch out everyone!

Ash.on.the.line Loved her attempt at matchmaking! 7mo

#GarwoodReadAlong Ch.16: Johanna has had enough with wearing different plaids on different days. She has a plan to bring her two clans together. But will it work? Or will she be causing a riot? Also, She finally gets to the bottom of Clare Mackay and promises to help her. Clare‘s father is on the way - can the two women stand up to him?

LiseWorks I think they should have created their own plaid a long time ago, lol. And why does she keep getting the days mixed up for wearing the right plaid. Also, I'm surprised that Claire would still be with child with the beating she incurred. They could just say she lost the baby. 7mo

Sorry I‘ve been MIA! Was on 12 hr road trip & I wasn‘t allowed to listen to audiobooks - no, anything other than The Wiggles sent my son into a tailspin🤪. Ch.15: Johanna trying to get a word in when those warriors wouldn‘t keep quiet was funny, and a bit frustrating, to read. They made plans to snatch a noser to test their wine - and finally were convinced not to kill him afterwards. Johanna tells Gabriel her news and realizes he loves her.

LiseWorks I couldn't believe they actually wanted to kill the nose guy. They also wanted to keep the liquor. Personally, I think the barrels are safer on the cave than anywhere else. 7mo
Ash.on.the.line This was a good one! I had a few laughs, but glad they chose another path! 7mo
Texreader Love that joke. Definitely my kind of humor 7mo

#GarwoodReadAlong Ch.14: Johanna is overjoyed to have Alex returned to her; Gabriel is overwrought to find he loves Johanna and cares deeply for his family; Johanna is suffering from some strange disease - which surprise! Turns out to be a baby! But she‘s barren…isn‘t she?

LiseWorks It seems that the women were considered Baren even if it was the man's fault 7mo

#GarwoodReadAlong Ch.13: Johanna tries to get her household in order but boy, those Maclaurins don‘t make it easy! Can‘t everyone just get along? Hopefully before Johanna runs out of crockery to break.

LiseWorks Lol, I guess it takes a woman to bring etiquette at meal times. 7mo
Ash.on.the.line She‘s sure gonna try 😆 7mo
