In 1746 Scotland, Elizabeth Kerr and her mother-in-law, Marjory Kerr, are labeled traitors to the crown. They’ve lost everything—their husbands and sons, their estate, titles, and fortunes. All that is left to them is to beg mercy and refuge from Marjory’s distant cousin, a woman who has lived her entire life with only the barest of resources. They must do what they can to survive and avoid being noticed by those who would turn them in to the authorities. Elizabeth chances employment as a dressmaker for the staff of Lord Jack Buchanan, a retired admiral of his majesty’s navy. He hears of their treason and it could mean the end for them. Or perhaps, it may be just the beginning.
Based on the biblical story of Ruth, with twin themes of restoration and redemption, the story is primarily character driven with touches of danger and intrigue. Mine is the Night is the sequel to Here Burns My Candle but can be easily read as a stand-alone book. As an added bonus in this audio version, disc 12 is enhanced to include a listener’s guide, glossary of Scottish terms, and map.
