Blind Date With a Book | 285
She left the island long ago. But sometimes the place you ran from is the only place that can teach you how to come home to yourself.
This is a story about a woman returning to a windswept Scottish island she once called home: a place full of memory, silence, and unresolved family ties. As she reconnects with the people and rhythms she thought she left behind, she also begins to rediscover parts of herself she didn’t realize were missing.
A gentle, heartwarming novel about second chances, chosen family, and the quiet strength of women who hold each other up. You’ll want to stay on the island long after the final page.
