Bridge in Time

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.

Scotland, 1866. In the wake of the railroad construction, a friendship is forged that will outlast generations. Thirteen years after the railway thundered into the Scottish Borders, life has changed forever. But for the children left behind by the men who built it, some legacies run deeper than iron and steam. Kitty Scott – wild and unwanted – finds an unlikely ally in Marie Benjamin, a newcomer facing her own battles. Their bond carries them from childhood mischief in the windswept hills to the bustling cosmopolitan cities of Edinburgh, London, and Paris, where love, loss, and the pull of the past shape their paths. As secrets surface and loyalties are tested, Kitty and Marie must decide what endures when everything else changes. A moving, richly woven saga for fans of Fenella J. Miller, Rachel Brimble, and May Ellis.
