description: Bestselling author Madge Swindells tells a fascinating story of a woman's intense love for her daughter and of her search for her true self. Marjorie Hardy has brains, courage and beauty - but these assets aren't nearly enough when she falls in love with Robert MacLaren, heir to a whisky empire. Her family is poor and her accent and upbringing are totally wrong for Robert's calculating stepmother. Finding herself alone and pregnant, Marjorie makes up her mind to keep her baby and fight for her daughter's rightful inheritance. Her dream sets her off on a long, tough road of business. She reaches the top, becoming co-owner of a highly successful publishing company - but now she must choose between ambition and love.
