Tailored Truths: An engrossing Victorian Scotland Saga (The Silver Sampler Series Book 2)
Is self-supporting success enough for Margaret Law or will her future also include an adoring husband and children? She might secretly yearn for that though how can she avoid a repeat of relationship deceptions that disenchanted her so much during her teenage years?
Employment as a lady's maid in Scotland, and then as a private tutor in Liverpool in the 1860s, bring thrilling opportunities for travel and experiences that Margaret could never have envisaged while growing up. But when those posts end, her educational aspirations of teaching or tutoring must be shelved again. Reliance on her excellent and varied sewing skills is paramount for her survival when she returns to Dundee.
Meeting Sandy Watson means love, marriage and starting a family - though not necessarily in that order - are a striking development, even entailing a move north to the fishing town of Peterhead. Yet, how can Margaret shed her fear of commitment, her independence and take the plunge?
Jessie, her sister-at-heart, is settled in Glasgow. Frequent letters are a life-line between them but when it all goes horribly wrong, the contents of Margaret's correspondence don't necessarily mirror her awful day-to-day realities.
Will Margaret discover what she really wants from life and find the courage to take it?
