Reseña del libro "A Woman of Conviction (en Inglés)"
Discover the sweeping, emotional historical read from the Queen of Scottish Saga, Evelyn Hood. Should she choose duty and security or passion and jeopardy? Sandyford, Scotland, 1900 Heartbroken Nurse Rose Gibb sets sail for South Africa during the Boer War after being rejected by the man she loved for the sake of her pretty half-sister. When things don't work out for Rose, entitled Blair Crawford is charged with escorting her home to the Clydeside town of Sandyford where their relationship is eagerly encouraged. However, Rose is intrigued by her mother's lodger, Magnus MacBride, who is in the process of refloating a tired old inherited paddle steamer. Rather than return to nursing, Rose embarks on a furniture restoration business, aided by Magnus but using premises owned by Blair. Rose soon discovers that Magnus's history is tragically linked with Blair's, and the rivalry between the two causes trouble for Rose. Rose must ultimately decide where she belongs in Sandyford society. Is she destined to be the laird's wife or partner to the paddle boat line owner?
