The Lady of Stonewycke

A sweeping saga of three generations in the lives of an aristocratic Scottish family, the trilogy revolves around Margaret Duncan and the rest of her clan. Though only seventeen, Margaret feels the distance between her parents is increasing and that she is becoming alienated from her beloved father. Into this tense family circumstance arrives Ian, a spoiled distant cousin who gains a good influence among the believers living in this idyllic Scottish community. Woven around the touching family drama are all the trappings of great fiction. A secret excavation, an evil conspiracy, an unannounced wedding, and an unsolved murder are all part of this epic trilogy written by a talented and beloved writing team.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is the perfect ending to the first 2 books in the Stonewyck series. After the 2nd book I was so upset that I was determined not to read anymore of the series. The ending of this series totally got me by surprise, and I'm not easily surprised. I was so delighted by the ending. This book is definitely a must read!!!

I read this book in high school and the characters have stayed with me throughout the years. I will never forget Ian and Maggie and the special, but tragic love that they had. This trilogy is one of my all time favorites and I will be reading it for many years to come.
