Synopsis
If you like Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, Alison Weir, and Anya Seton, then you will love this romantic epic set in the Scottish Highlands of the 17th century, featuring betrayal, folklore, superstition, conflict, and a love that transcends time.
Based on a true story that haunts the glen surrounding Urquhart castle, the novel recounts the adventures of cattle thief and poet, Donal Donn, and his passion for Mary McElroy, the spirited daughter of the laird of the castle. Despite attempts to keep them apart, the two meet secretly along the banks of Loch Ness and plan their future together. But something goes terribly wrong, and the mystery of what exactly happened remains hidden for two centuries. When American tourist, Caitlyn Hegarty, arrives at Urquhart, she is soon drawn into the shadows of the past and finds herself unable to shake the spell of Mary and Donal's forbidden love.
"In Silence Cries the Heart" captures the beauty of the Scottish countryside, the brotherhood of the warriors who reside there, and a love that ultimately overcomes all obstacles.

About the Author
Catherine Hughes, a high school English teacher, was first intrigued by the story of Mary Grant and Domhnull Donn after visiting Scotland's Urquhart Castle, the site of their courtship and Donn's later imprisonment. Forbidden to be together in their own time, the laird's daughter and the rebel poet cried out from beyond the grave, beckoning someone to listen. Catherine, who resides in Long Beach, NY with her family, heeded their call.
