Shortbread in the Highlands - (Suitcase Sisters) by Robin Jones Gunn (Paperback)

About the Book

When cousins Nora and Allie travel to Scotland to claim their gran's inheritance, a cottage by a loch seems the perfect setting until they're derailed by delays and village eccentrics. After exploring castles and hiking heather-covered hills, they uncover family secrets that present a life-changing future.

Book Synopsis

Cousins Nora and Allie are sent to Scotland to claim an inheritance but are hindered by delayed flights and canceled reservations before settling into a picture-perfect cottage. Surprised by an encounter with a man in a kilt and a visit from a nosy neighbor and her five Scottie dogs, the cousins begin to experience life in the village where their grandmother grew up. But a brewing mystery along with more delays make this adventure far different than they expected.

Undaunted, the Suitcase Sisters stock up on shortbread from the village bakery and explore the beauty of Scotland in autumn, beginning with a leisurely boat ride on Loch Lomond. Buoyed by laughter and shared childhood memories, they head to the Highlands for a tour of their ancestral castle and a luxurious stay at a resort.

An enchanting train ride returns them to the village, where a secret their sweet Gran hid from them all these years comes to light, and a final stop in Edinburgh holds more life-changing revelations for them.

On this armchair trek to Scotland, readers will experience a journey of surprises brimming with God's mysterious ways and the unbreakable bonds of family.
