  'Kate in her house. A whitewashed stone building with a view of the sea, on the west coast of the Highlands...' Kate is the mother of Mhairi, who has, alarmingly, married without telling her, and returned home pregnant by a departed lover. After baby Patrick's birth, Mhairi does a terrible thing - but surprising rescue comes in the shape of a homeless young man on the run. Offering a wry contemporary perspective on Highland life, this is a warm, forgiving novel about people's need to find their home in the world.

  Kate's cottage is rather crowded: her daughter, Mhairi, fatigued and ill ar ease with her swollen form; Michael, her husband's father, visiting from California; and baby Patrick, who, though yet unborn, already has a personality of his own. While grieving for her dead husband, she is also attracted to her American guest.
