The House on Rosebank Lane - Softcover
Edinburgh, 1953. Kirsten Mowat, 18 years old and with a spring in her step, is glad to be out and about with her handsome, dark-haired sweetheart Duncan Armstrong. But there’s a secret in her heart that needs to be told – and when Duncan insists on a shotgun wedding, in the Leith register office of all places, it sets Kirsten’s life along a downward path no one could have predicted. Married life brings tragedy – the wrenching loss of two newborn triplets – which leads Kirsten’s husband and grudging mother-in-law to harden their hearts against the young bride. Soon, beset by grief, Kirsten finds herself alone with her two daughters and vulnerable baby Dixie to care for. She must seek out a haven for her precious children among the most unlikely of people, until the kindness of strangers and her own strength of will, create bonds that will draw this family together in new and unexpected ways. From much-loved Millie Gray, The House on Rosebank Lane, is an Edinburgh-based story of families entwined, of sorrow and hopefulness . . . and of a young woman’s love for her children and transforming quest for happiness.
