Preview

Falling in love can be a tumultuous experience, what with utter elation in one moment and crushing insecurity in the next. In Josi Kilpack’s novel The Lady of the Lakes, the young Sir Walter Scott experiences this tumult of falling in love not once but twice, discovering that finding true love does not always happen as one would hope or expect. When Walter first sees Mina Stuart, a young heiress, he is immediately enthralled and devotes his heart to her entirely, writing to her for years and preparing for the day when he can ask for her hand in marriage. Mina’s own romantic sensibilities are captivated by his flattery and devotion, but as she approaches a marriageable age, she begins to wonder what she truly wants for her life. Meanwhile, Charlotte Carpenter revels in her emerging independence, yet at twenty-six she fears never finding a love whom she can cherish and who will accept and cherish her in return. Kilpack recounts these true experiences through Walter’s, Mina’s, and Charlotte’s perspectives as each of them makes pivotal decisions to discover true love.
