What to expect

18th century, Scotland. Jacobite sympathies stir powerful emotions, especially in a titled young man with little to occupy him. But strong-willed Lady Winifred Nithsdale has already seen her mother, father, and brother imprisoned for their support of England's Catholic king. While she wants to be loyal, Winifred tries to protect her husband from imprisonment, or worse, the scaffold. But will she escape with her own life intact? Based on the true story of Winifred Maxwell, Countess of Nithsdale, and set in the early 1700s, this remarkable and powerful novel is rich in detail, character, and history.
