What would you risk for love? Having recently lost her husband, and intent on proving to the township that she can manage on her own, young widow Anna Cumnock has no time and no intention of finding love again. Indebted to the clan tacksman, she's going to have to fight for her croft, her home, and her young daughter. With all the men away to battle, Katherine Scarth needs urgent help to run her croft, or she'll risk the wrath of her husband when he returns. He's a hard man, and it's a hard life in the 18th century Scottish highlands. When Katherine notices her beautiful neighbour, Anna, toiling on her own land, she's captivated. Can she win over the reclusive Anna and convince her that the two of them should work together to save their harvests? Against all the odds, love blossoms amongst the dirt and graft of a crofter's life. But when Katherine's husband returns unexpectedly, the women have to make a choice. One that will change their lives forever... Excitement and HEA guaranteed :)

Book Description
*#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER *Winner, Kobo Emerging Writer Prize Nonfiction *Winner, Indigenous Voices Awards *Winner, High Plains Book Awards *Finalist, CBC Canada Reads *A Globe and Mail Book of the Year *An Indigo Book of the Year *A CBC Best Canadian Nonfiction Book of the Year In this extraordinary and inspiring debut memoir, Jesse Thistle, once a high school dropout and now a rising Indigenous scholar, chronicles his life on the streets and how he overcame trauma and addiction to discover the truth about who he is. If I can just make it to the next minute...then I might have a chance to live; I might have a chance to be something more than just a struggling crackhead. From the Ashes is a remarkable memoir about hope and resilience, and a revelatory look into the life of a Métis-Cree man who refused to give up. Abandoned by his parents as a toddler, Jesse Thistle briefly found himself in the foster-care system with his two brothers, cut off from all they had known. Eventually the children landed in the home of their paternal grandparents, whose tough-love attitudes quickly resulted in conflicts. Throughout it all, the ghost of Jesse’s drug-addicted father haunted the halls of the house and the memories of every family member. Struggling with all that had happened, Jesse succumbed to a self-destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, spending more than a decade on and off the streets, often homeless. Finally, he realized he would die unless he turned his life around. In this heartwarming and heart-wrenching memoir, Jesse Thistle writes honestly and fearlessly about his painful past, the abuse he endured, and how he uncovered the truth about his parents. Through sheer perseverance and education—and newfound love—he found his way back into the circle of his Indigenous culture and family. An eloquent exploration of the impact of prejudice and racism, From the Ashes is, in the end, about how love and support can help us find happiness despite the odds.
