Gertie dreams of leaving home, wondering what life might be like beyond the beautiful but remote Scottish island where she was born. It’s the only place she knows – and the community is held together by the strong, capable and forthright women who work hard, gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin. At the center of this sisterhood is Gertie’s mum Jean and her grandmother Elspeth, and the three generations of women live together in one small cottage. Gertie’s only ever been in love with one man – musician Struan, who rejected her Valentine’s gift years ago and broke her heart. So now she prefers to knit and dream her life away instead. But when a sudden opportunity drops from the heavens– a new job working with her friend Morag on the local airline – a world of possibilities opens up before Gertie.
