Travelling with her husband, Lord William Wroddesley, Lady Mary travels to Argentina with the first import of Aberdeen Angus cattle. Tragedy and subsequent betrayal fail to subdue her Scottish will. Instead she finds family and love. Kind and welcoming people show her that being a family is more than sharing common bloodlines. She learns a new language and culture, and finds a man she might love, but is it worth giving up a child, a castle, and the heritage of her past?Set in 1879, Argentina enjoys population and economic growth. The import of European beef breeds, adoption of barbed wire fencing, and spread of the telegraph and railroad across the country mean estancias have opportunities to expand. Lady Mary must choose whether to be part of this growth, or to return to her homeland and son.
