Book Description
Elizabeth craves adventure... excitement... love... For now though, she has to settle for a trip from her family's castle, to the port in Aberdeen, where her father has promised she'll be permitted to buy a horse... all of her own. Little does she suspect this simple journey will change her life, forever. And as she dreams of riding her new mount through the forests and glens of the Manteith estate, she can have no idea that she might never see them again. For what lies ahead is danger, unimagined... and the fearful realities of kidnap and slavery. But even when everything seems lost, most especially the chance of ever getting home again, Elizabeth finds friendship, comfort... and that much prized love, just where she least expected it. Set in the mid eighteenth century, Fireflies and Chocolate is a story of strength, courage and tolerance, in a time filled with far too many prejudices.
