The railway promises progress – but in Camptounfoot, change comes at a cost. In 1853, Scotland's oldest village stands on the brink of transformation. When shy but determined Emma Jane Wylie loses her father, she inherits not only his vision – a grand railway bridge stretching south – but also the battles that come with it. As construction begins, Emma must face a wave of adversity: cholera, strikes, murder, and a devastating landslide. With Victorian society against her and danger closing in, Emma must summon all her courage to see the dream through. A sweeping saga of ambition and resilience for fans of Fenella J. Miller, Rachel Brimble, and May Ellis.
