Scotland Christmas Reunion

Widow Edith MacPherson faces a lonely Christmas in isolated Scotland at a time when the holiday wasn't celebrated with glitz and glamour. She misses the comradery of her friends and festivities in London. However, when an acquaintance from her youth lands on her son's doorstep, he awakens feelings that she thought she'd buried long in the past.

This is a short story connected to the Rake Patrol series and most closely with The Whisky Laird's Bed. It contains an excerpt from the next Rake Patrol book, To Bait a Rake.

The interesting thing about writing this short story is that the Scots did not celebrate Christmas in typical holiday fashion until the 1950s. My story is set in 1891, so it's a wee bit shy of that (grin). But every challenge there is an opportunity. I hope you like what I did with this one.
