Behind Alexia Langley stands the legacy of three remarkable and indomitable women. But Alexia, nervous and shy, is totally unsuited to the freewheeling, miniskirted swinging London of the 1960s - and not particularly good at anything but cooking. Betrayed by a greedy husband, she is forced to carve out a new life with her baby, Carly - and it is only the gift of a crumbling castle in Scotland that unlocks her hidden strength. Later, it is Carly who, spurred by an ancestral diary, will retrace a journey to Afghanistan and bring the legacy of bravery, tragedy, and love full circle to where it began a century and a half before.--BOOK JACKET.
