Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The Maxwell family saga, which began with Ross and Rachel Maxwell in The Laird of Lochandee (2003), continues into the fourth generation with young cousins Ryan and Paul. Like their parents and grandparents, the cousins want to develop a pedigreed dairy farm, but even with their newfangled methods, this isn't as easy. Scotland has mandated milk quotas. Tenants have turned the grassy feeding meadows into muddy wastelands. A nefarious neighbor has made their failure his goal in life. Then there are personal issues. But in spite of much strife, Paul and Ryan manage to court the women they hope will be the loves of their lives. Fans of the Maxwell saga will want to read this latest installment, but the book has enough background information for it to work well as a stand-alone volume. A family tree included in the front of the book makes it easy to track the many Maxwells who populate this poignant story of life on a Scottish dairy farm in the 1980s. Shelley Mosley

More About the Author
I live in Scotland U.K. and I have written 15 family sagas with authentic farm and country backgrounds, mainly set in Scotland. So far I have written them in series spanning three to four generations. Each book stands alone but I believe they are more enjoyable read in sequence. They are available in many UK libraries and on the internet. I have also written 6 shorter romantic novels under the pseudonymn Lynn Granger. I am presently uploading these as E-readers under my own name to avoid confusion.
I have been a member of the Romantic Novelists Association for many years and enjoy the yearly Conference. I won the Elizabeth Goudge Trophy in 2000.
I went to school in Yorkshire, then Agricultural College, but I have lived most of my adult life in Scotland. My own background is dairyfarming but I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, walking and my grandchildren.
