Lost Memories of the Cottage by the Loch

Gretchen Ross, white-haired and wrapped in a blanket, watches the nurses working around her. Lately, she cannot stem the memories of a long-hidden past. Memories of a tumbledown white cottage overlooking the loch, a beautiful child loved and lost, and a regret buried for decades…

When Lottie Fox escapes to the heather-strewn hills of Loch Cameron, she is still heart-sore after the man she thought she’d spend her life with upped and left. Visiting the elderly residents of the village care home to ask for their help tracing local history is the perfect distraction. And soon Lottie is drawn to the outspoken, twinkly-eyed Gretchen.

Senior in years but still young at heart, Gretchen’s outrageous stories bring Lottie out of her shell. And meeting Fred Mackenzie in the village bookstore, with his kind eyes and floppy hair, Lottie starts to think about the future again. She even brings Fred to meet her new friend, Gretchen, and is totally charmed by his care for the elderly lady.

But there’s one story Gretchen has never shared. When Lottie confides in her about how lonely she once was, she realises that Gretchen is desperate to share her own heartbreaking tale of a great love, and a devastating betrayal.

Then Gretchen is rushed to hospital. The last thing she whispers to grief-stricken Lottie is how she must take the blue leather-bound photo album tucked away on her bookshelf. The secrets Lottie and Fred find inside could upend everything Lottie thought she knew about Gretchen, and shatter the community Lottie has come to know and love in the village…

Fans of Debbie Macomber, Rachel Hanna and Mary Alice Monroe will be totally swept away to the Scottish Highlands in this heartbreaking tale full of family secrets.
