Wild Heritage - Elisabeth McNeill

Their friendship is caught between the past and the future.

Thirteen years have passed since the railway came to the Borders, bringing changes that would radically alter the lives of the people who lived there. Yet the steam train was not the only legacy from the men who built the railway – in their wake they left several fatherless children.
One such child is Kitty Scott. Wild through neglect and an outcast within the community, Kitty is a loner, until she rescues newcomer Marie Benjamin from the taunts of her classmates. The two become close friends as children, but when they reach adulthood and their paths diverge, will their friendship survive?

An engaging saga of hope and love.
