Rich historical details in a romance novel not only help bring another era to life but lend depth and richness to the delicious love story of Clemency Cameron and Jamie MacLean in "Summer's End" by Lynne Hayworth. The background of the novel covers the Jacobite Rebellion in 18th century Scotland driving Scots immigrants to the New World. The heroine, Clemency Cameron ,is blessed with healing powers and an unusual knowledge of medicinal herbs, roots, and flowers. Some early medical treatments are detailed as well. As a New Englander, I was intrigued to read about the role witchcraft played in society during that era. As we approach Valentine's Day amidst the coldest winter in several years, I strongly recommend "Summer's End "as an enchanting escapist read.This is the first book in a trilogy
