<b>SHE LOST EVERYTHING SHE LOVED.<br>HE HAD EVERYTHING SHE NEEDED.<br>BUT COULD SHE FIND THE COURAGE TO TRUST HIM?<br><br></b>Stepping from a battered coach on a rainy April eve, newly widowed Elisabeth Kerr must begin again, without husband or title, property or fortune. She is unafraid of work and gifted with a needle, but how will she stitch together the tattered remnants of her life? And who will mend her heart, torn asunder by betrayal and deception?<br>   Elisabeth has not come to Selkirk alone. Her mother-in-law, Marjory Kerr, is a woman undone, having buried her husband, her sons, and any promise of grandchildren. Dependent upon a distant cousin with meager resources, Marjory dreads the future almost as much as she regrets the past. Yet joy still comes knocking, and hope is often found in unexpected places.<br>  Then a worthy hero steps forward, rekindling a spark of hope. Will he risk his reputation to defend two women labeled as traitors to the Crown? Or will a wealthy beauty, untainted by scandal, capture his affections?<br>   The heartrending journey of the Kerr women comes to a glorious finish in <i>Mine Is the Night</i>, a sparkling gem of redemption and restoration set in eighteenth-century Scotland. <br>
