MAGGIE TRAVELS THROUGH TIME TO 8TH CENTURY SCOTLAND, FINDING NEW HOPE
The fog Maggie's seizure medication induces has numbed her over the years to a bad marriage but cannot ease the pain of the recent loss of her young daughter to the same affliction. With her life crumbling about her, she flees to a cottage at the base of Dunadd Fort, once the royal seat of Scotland, but now in ruins. As the pills she should be taking accumulate in a saucer on the kitchen counter, Maggie's reality begins to shift out of the present and back to the 8th century heyday of the fort, where Queen Brighde reigns with her two sons. Murdoch, her heir, is unyielding and imperious, but the younger son, Fergus, who still suffers from the loss of his wife, is a kinder man. It is he who takes in this strange-looking creature that appears at the gates of the fort and whom he comes to call mo chridhe, my heart. Maggie is smitten, not only by Fergus but by his young daughter, who reminds her so much of her own. But Maggie's travel back to ancient Dunadd is limited by her seizures, and threatened altogether by a looming surgery that promises to end Maggie's time drift for good.
