Where The Heart Leads

What's in a legacy? A great deal, in the case of this engrossing contemporary novel, for an ancestor's old will dramatically changes the lives of the characters portrayed.To satisfy both the will's requirements and his own inexplicable urgings, Andrew Buchanan temporarily leaves his native Scotland to search in America for long-lost relatives. If these can be found by a certain date, they will inherit a sizable fortune under the will. Looking for leads in America, Andrew makes an important find- he finds and falls in love with the beautiful Hannah Martin; and together they enthusiastically press the search. Meanwhile a third party discovers how he may circumvent the will's intent and divert to himself the accumulated fortune.It is against this imaginative plot that Susan McCloud has developed an exciting story of romance and roguery. Andrew and Hannah find themselves caught up in a web of mystery and intrigue that spans the Atlantic and the United States. As a mix of deception, trickery, and blossoming love sweeps the characters along, will even love itself be threatened by the rapidly unfolding events? Who is the sinister stranger, and is he really trying to kill Hannah? Will Hannah's introduction to Mormonism force her to choose between that faith and Andrew? Against such a background the scene alternates between the Scottish Lowlands and western and Midwestern America while the quest for the missing heirs is anxiously pursued in the face of what seems an impossible deadline and the relentless efforts being made to sabotage the project.This is a fast-paced novel, a fascinating romance with a solid plot and a story line that keeps the reader ever eager to get to the next page.

Bookcraft

Sarah, just in the bloom of young womanhood, has already learned much about love and hatred. She has learned that dreams and plans can quickly die and be buried with those who dream them; she has felt the sting of hatred and violence flung against her because of her faith. Dare she think about love? Will she ever be ready to love again? In this gripping, fast-paced story a man and woman, caught between loves and hates that shaped the late Missouri and early Nauvoo periods, play out their parts. And the reader is there.

Children's Books

Under Susan McCloud's skillful hand the life story of Ellis Reynolds Shipp, the second woman doctor in Utah, becomes an engrossing drama of courage, determination, sacrifice, and fortitude. From meticulous research, with most of the dialogue having been taken verbatim from journals and family notes, the author unfolds a story that combines romantic love with life's realities.

Not In Vain: The inspiring story of Ellis Shipp, pioneer woman doctor.

Nan's fairy tale wedding to Andrew is abruptly shattered as Edwin bursts into the celebration and yanks her from her husband's hold. "Your happiness brings the destruction of me," he murmurs in a low, strained voice, his mouth twisted into a pathetic mockery of a smile. And to Andrew he says, "You shall yet live to rue the day. You can never destroy me utterly." Edwin's open declaration of war means only one thing trouble. Nan, Andrew, Brad, Julie, Janet, Neil, family friends, and even some local ruffians are whirled into the vortex of intrigue as the reprobate Edwin plots his deceptive course. In Edwin's war, no one can be allowed to stand in the way. Will or no will, he plans to get his share of the family fortune. If Brad's hopes are squashed, that's just the way it ought to be. If Janet takes Edwin's side, it will make it that much tougher for Andrew. And if Julie loses her heart, making the plan work will be all the sweeter. While the story is complete in itself, this exciting tale of mystery and romance is an action packed sequel to the best seller Where the Heart Leads. From the bonnie banks of Lock Lomond to the sultry shores of Nauvoo, the suspense mounts as family and friends are thrown into conflict over the heart and the will.
