Jennifer Redmond has a near-fatal accident and wakes up in hospital suffering from amnesia. When her memory returns, she remembers why she was running away.
Feeling disillusioned and unhappy, Jennifer Redmond, journeys to Scotland to get away from her uncaring, work-obsessed husband, Peter, and stays in an hotel in a remote Highland village. The owner, Angus Cameron, a quiet and lonely man, befriends her.
Whilst walking alone in the mountains, she falls during a severe storm, is critically injured and eventually rescued from the mountainside by helicopter. Whilst recovering from short-term amnesia and her injuries in hospital in Inverness, her husband discovers where she is and manages to persuade her to return to England with him. Jennifer is taken in by his promises, and is totally unaware of the real reasons why Peter wants her back, or that he is considering having an affair with his secretary, Susie.
Once Jennifer is fully recovered, Peter takes her to New York on a business trip: he also invites Susie...
Will Jennifer stay with Peter, or will she return to Scotland and find love and happiness with Angus and regain her self-respect? How many more disasters will occur before she makes up her mind? And how will a thin and straggly dingo dog in the outback of Australia influence what happens to her. (See Chapter 31). Clever dog!
