A story of love, loss, and coming home, A Thimbleful of Honor is set in the heart of Scotland’s Highlands, twenty-five years after the failed 1745 Jacobite rebellion. Available in audio, digital, and print.

Before his father’s offer to shelter Wylie’s two sons, nothing could lure the widowed Wylie Macpherson back to Scotland. After a bitter twenty-five-year exile, his homecoming proves even harder than anticipated. Instead of the scorn he expected, he’s faced with the relief of a struggling village long awaiting his return. All Wylie he wants is to retreat to his ship, yet the tug of his memories and responsibilities is difficult to ignore.

Having lost one man to the sea, Anna Macrae is cynical of men chasing dreams across oceans when everything one could want—family, community, friends—can be found in the Highlands. Though preoccupied hiding her father’s infirmity while managing his business in his stead, she can’t help but notice Wylie’s sons need a parent, and their father is too absorbed in his own grief and anger to notice. As she grows close to them, her traitorous heart begins to spin fantasies of a life not meant to be.

Blindsided by a barrage of painful memories, Wylie pays little heed to the heat building between himself and Anna until he finds he can think of nothing else. Will he flee once again, or will he fight one more battle to claim the sweetest of prizes?

Praise for A Thimbleful of Honor

“Wylie tries to tell himself that the past is dead, but Graham adeptly brings it to life. With two nuanced protagonists and a strong foundation laid for sequels, this eloquent mix of historical fiction and romance will appeal to fans of both genres.”

BookLife (Editor’s Pick)

“Years of resentment and a passionate romance throw a man into turmoil when he returns to the Scottish Highlands in this novel. . . . intriguing until the end.

Graham uses just enough Gaelic terminology to create a sense of authenticity without causing readers undue frustration, and her atmospheric descriptions of places and lifestyles offer a visceral visit to the past. A fun read, historically informative, with dangling strings aplenty for the sequel.”

Kirkus Reviews

“The imagery and wealth of feeling were glorious to read. I was also particularly appreciative of the work and research that went into writing this book . . . it is nice to read something steeped in truth.”
