Her gran never spoke of her early life in Scotland, but Ros wants to discover more about her past. Working as a journalist for the Wellington Post, Ros doesn't like her colleague, Simon Leggat. Simon obviously wants to form a relationship with her but she rejects any advances he makes, finding him arrogant and over-confident.

After Ros accepts an invitation to visit her gran’s friend in Dundee, she heads to Scotland. During her stay, she’s given some diaries penned by her gran. What secrets will the diaries reveal?
