Helping her aunt organize a festival in a picturesque village nestled among the Highland braes of Scotland seems like the perfect escape from Anna Cameron's broken engagement and the mistake that ended her legal career.

But opening the "Sighting" to strangers reveals generations of scars within the community and within Connal and Anna themselves. ...
