About this ebook
When a Scottish rug merchant receives word of his mother's passing, he is disturbed to find himself emotionally unaffected. Seeking to ignite feelings absent within, he journeys to find love and meaning. But at the precipice of new beginnings, he must weigh the cost of pursued passions against the drive of his life's work, questioning if one heart can hold both.
