Stepping out of a dilapidated stagecoach on a rainy April evening, young widow Elisabeth Kerr must start again from scratch.
She is without a husband, without a title, without property and without fortune. Work doesn't scare her and she handles the needle with dexterity, but how will she manage to sew up the tatters of her life? And who will heal his heart, torn by betrayal and lies? Elisabeth did not come to Selkirk alone.
Her mother-in-law, Marjory Kerr, is a devastated woman, having buried her husband, her sons and any hope of one day having grandchildren. Dependent on a distant cousin who has only meager resources, Marjory fears the future almost as much as she regrets the past. Yet joy comes knocking again and she encounters kindness in the most unexpected places.
Then a brave hero enters the scene, reigniting a spark of hope. Will he risk his reputation to defend two women convinced of having betrayed the Crown? Or will he prefer to give his heart to a wealthy beauty, who has never been splashed by scandal?
The heartbreaking journey of the women of the Kerr family comes to a glorious conclusion in The Night Belongs to Me, a resplendent gem of redemption and rebirth, set in eighteenth-century Scotland.
