Book Description:

​Ivy Knight feels that her life may never start. Though her loving family assures her that her place in the world is close to home, she still feels a push to move out of her comfort zone. Hoping against hope, she travels to her old friends at McCale House, seeking a purpose.

Jordy McAllen has just returned to Scotland after his education in London. He fears that what everyone has always said about him may be true: he can’t be a good doctor, let alone a good man. Determined to prove himself, Jordy snatches up the opportunity to become the doctor in the village of Keefmore near his parents’ farm.

​When an old friend decides to travel to Keefmore and visit a relative, Ivy follows. She soon finds herself drawn to Jordy, but as their attraction grows, they both face doubts. A relationship between the two of them feels improbable—and might just require a step of impossible faith.

My Thoughts:

This was a lovely visit to a country I would really like to visit in real life, Scotland. We begin in England as twin sisters, Alice and Ivy are saying goodbye to each other. Alice has married and is moving to America with her new husband. Ivy is heartbroken at losing her sister, but in a way envies her as well. Alice and Ivy though twins, are very different. Alice was always the protector, as Ivy is a little bit more fragile. She views life differently in her mind and the rest of the world looks at her as odd.

However, Ivy also has dreams, dreams very similar to Alice's. But even in her own mind she sees herself as not strong enough or much too slow. She is looking for her purpose and she believes she has found it as she decides to go visit some old friends in Scotland. Coming back to Scotland themselves is others she stayed with, Violet and Jordy, who is now a doctor.

Jordy is carrying some heavy past baggage of sin. He is having a hard time forgiving himself and moving on, seemingly a little bit frightened about falling into temptation again. And then he and Ivy are reunited again, and she is still the most precious human he knows. He begins to fall in love with her but in his heart has decided she is too good for him.

Ivy on the the other hand believes that Jordy is much too perfect for her and her imperfections. Will these two see beyond themselves and their pasts to a brighter future full of dreams come true and love? This was a gentle romance of two people letting go of the past and moving forward. This is the first book I have read in this series, much to my chagrin. I do have plans to pick up the rest of the stories, as they intrigue me, and I see that a new one is coming soon. That one is on how Alice is fairing in her new role.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
