Skye, 1881. Catriona knew that Calum was a proud man when she married him yet she didn't expect those qualities to have such an effect on their life: when the landowners want the crofters arrested for grazing cattle on their land Calum is one of the first men who volunteers to go to prison. Catriona, pregnant with their first child, is unable to change his mind and so she finds herself alone - and it is alone that she must face tragedy, pain and heartache. Convinced that her ignorance is to blame, Catriona makes a promise to herself that no one will suffer as she has and it is a promise that will change everything. Gripping, authentic and emotional, The Midwife's Promise is a short story about one woman's quest to find something good when life turns horribly bad. *Contains an exclusive extract from the WWI-set novel, When the Dawn Breaks.*
