Change is coming, but are the people of Camptounfoot ready for it? 
For generations, the oldest village in Scotland has remained little changed but now it is 1853 and the railway is coming to Camptounfoot.

Shy and beautiful Emma Jane Wylie is determined to fight for the realisation of her father’s dream – the construction of the railway bridge that will carry the new track southwards. Her father’s demise puts Emma in charge. But during the two years of its construction, the project is beset by drama and tragedy: cholera rages, the men down tools, murder and conspiracy are in the air – and then a landslide threatens to destroy all their endeavours. 

Inspired by her father’s vision, and with a strength of mind and resolve at odds with her Victorian upbringing, Emma Jane takes on the world – and is determined to win. 

The first book in the A Bridge In Time series, this dramatic and riveting saga of survival is perfect for fans of Anna Jacobs and Tessa Barclay.

A Bridge in Time: A moving Scottish historical saga

Caught between the past and the future, can friendship survive in changing times?
Thirteen years have passed since the railway came to the Borders, bringing changes that would radically alter the lives of the people who lived there. Yet the steam train was not the only legacy from the men who built the railway – in their wake they left several fatherless children.

 One such child is Kitty Scott. Wild through neglect and an outcast within the community, Kitty is a loner… until she rescues newcomer Marie Benjamin from the taunts of her classmates – the same taunts that have clouded Kitty’s own life. So begins a friendship that lasts beyond their childhood in the Scottish Borders, to Edinburgh, London, and finally Paris, where the influence of heredity comes full circle and friendship’s true worth is recognised. 

The second book in the A Bridge In Time series, this is an engaging saga of hope and love for fans of Tessa Barclay and Val Wood.
