With her lilting accents, Eilidh Beaton transports the listener to another place and time. In the Scottish Highlands during WWII, Maisie has left home to become a “lumberjill” with the Women’s Timber Corps. It’s here that she meets John, a Canadian with secrets and hidden emotional pain. Beaton gives this young adult novel a soothing tone, adding heightened emotions when required. However, her slow delivery makes this historical romance sound as if it were written for a much younger audience, especially when she voices the Canadian characters. Additionally, some slight inconsistencies in accents stand out due to the leisurely pace. Overall, this is a passable narration. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

It's not until Maisie rescues John from a terrible logging accident that he begins to open up to her about the truth of his past, and the pain he's been hiding.
Suddenly, everything is more complicated than Maisie expected. And as she helps John untangle his shattered history, she must decide if she's willing to risk her heart to help heal his. But in a world devastated by war, love might be the only thing left that can begin to heal what's broken.
