A young woman faces life-changing decisions on the eve of World War Two in this warm romance from a much-loved storyteller

Bright, spirited Shona Murray from Edinburgh’s Dean Village has found her niche in a city florist’s, where she excels and is content, until, suddenly, she must make decisions that will change everything. Fraser Kyle, the owner of the florist’s, proposes marriage.

Should she accept, or renew her love for Mark Lindsay, the doctor from the orphanage who first showed Shona the Handkerchief Tree that inspired her? Or will newly arrived Brett Webster steal her heart? Shona must find true courage to know where her happiness lies.
