Isabella Fyvie Mayo byla skotská autorka známá svými romány, poezií a reformním úsilím, která také psala pod pseudonymem Edward Garrett. Její díla se často zabývají morálními dilematy a společenskými otázkami, přičemž vyniká svým pronikavým pozorováním lidské povahy. Mayo využívala svůj literární talent k prosazování pokroku a kritice tehdejších zavedených norem. Její styl je charakteristický psychologickou hloubkou a sugestivními popisy, které čtenáře vtahují do hlubších úvah o životě.
Set in Scotland during the late 19th century, this novel tells the story of a young woman's struggles with her faith and family. Mayo interweaves themes of romance, redemption, and the beauty of nature in this moving work of historical fiction.
