It is the eve of Emma Greig’s fourteenth birthday. But instead of the usual celebrations, she is being sent to work on the edge of the moors at Bonnybrae Farm.
Emma’s father assures her that James Sinclair is a fair man. But warns that the mistress of the house is strict and too attached to her bible.
As her father predicted, life on the farm isn’t easy for Emma under the constant and critical eye of the family matriarch.
But as Emma grows, she begins to come out of her shell and find her voice. Her new-found confidence attracts William, the youngest son in the Sinclair family, and love soon begins to blossom between them.
But William’s mother is determined to snub out the spark of warmth ignited in their lives by Emma, even if it means tearing her own family apart. Emma is secretly dismissed and William is sent away to Yorkshire, each facing a future without the one they love.
The two young souls must gather their courage and find a way back to each other. If not just for themselves, then for their newborn son . . .
