Healing Hearts on Thistledown Lane (Part 1)

What you need to know before your trail

Maura has everything she ever wanted from life – a quirky cottage in Edinburgh’s picturesque Dean Village, a thriving career as a potter, and a contented relationship with her childhood sweetheart, Jimmy. Never mind that the cottage is damp, her pots aren’t selling and Jimmy prefers a night down the pub with his rugby mates to an evening in with her.

But everyone wishes things were just a tiny bit better, right?

When Maura reunites with Fraser Bell at a Hogmanay party, she’s instantly transported back to her school days. And when he suggests she makes some ceramic ghosts to go with his city ghost tour business, she’s tempted. At first, everything goes smoothly but it’s not long before their new partnership causes problems that ripple through every aspect of Maura’s life. The ghosts go viral, meaning she has more orders than she can fulfil, and Jimmy is less than thrilled that she’s spending all her time in her studio. But it’s not until Edinburgh Castle shows an interest in Maura’s work that things begin to spiral out of control.

Can Maura really have it all or will she regret wishing for more?
