Elyn Fletcher, a central Texas school teacher and fiction writer, finds herself out of work for the last time. Deciding to become a full-time author, she takes a bite out of the apple of Life to retrace her roots to know more about who she is and where her people came from. Deciding to live her life her way, she books a one-way ticket to Scotland to research her family tree and hopefully reinvent herself. No one needs to know who she was; just who she believes she is now. Will true love finally find her so far away from her homeland? Will she give up everything she's ever known to start over, but this time do it all her way? She's about to find out. With the love and approval of her best friends in the world, Elyn makes a clean break of it, just in time to explore a world she had only dreamed and read about as a girl in the Lone Star State. With a little luck and a whole lot of moxie, she not only finds her way but makes a spectacular splash when she crosses the Big Pond.
