When floral designer Deli MacDonald's heart is broken by unrequited love and her best friend's abandonment, she flees to the Scottish Highlands and her estranged aunt Mo's cliffside cottage by the sea. There, embraced by a village of eccentric locals and her aunt's unconditional, unfamiliar love, she finds herself drawn to brooding pub owner Lachlan Scott - whose path once crossed hers twenty years ago on these same heather-strewn hills. As Deli fights to find her footing in the Highland soil among the wreckage of her life, she wakes family ghosts and accidentally reopens a decades-old rift. And when her mother and grandmother arrive unexpectedly, three generations of women must finally confront the painful patterns of love, lies, and grief that once drove them apart. Through a tapestry of wildflowers, family secrets, and fierce hearts, Deli must reckon with the truth of how she learned to be loved.
