What to expect
When your world is turned upside down, home is where the heart is…
Plucked from nowhere and thrust into the limelight, 21-year-old Angelia MacAuley never expected her passion for music to take her all over the world.
Fast forward 10 years, and after successfully touring the globe with the man she thinks she loves but can’t have, a shocking diagnosis forces her to rethink the glamorous life she loves and the future of those around her.
Needing to step back and rest, Angelia and her faithful companion Scrappy return to her childhood home on the Isle of Skye and the warm and welcome embrace of her parents.
With her latest property investment in the picturesque village of Glentorrin on Skye, Angelia throws herself into restoring a forgotten shop full of potential—but will she find time to heal and discover love too?
A vicar, a rock drummer, and a classical musician compete for her attention—perhaps it’s time for a fresh start in every part of her life.
