Nestled in the foothills of North Carolina is Moravian Falls, a rare community rich in love, and fierce in its devotion to all its inhabitants it holds dear. It is within this textured fabric of home that a woman named Emileigh Suggs gathers her resources to perhaps love again. Destiny Skye weaves a shimmering tale of home and the heart, illuminating the strength of the deep ties that bind us all. Anyone who relishes a gentle read with warm humor will find inspiration in its pages to seek out the joy that is within everyone's reach and may well be just around the corner. In the convivial surroundings of her mother Tahlulah Suggs' general store in a small, bucolic town, Emileigh navigates the loss of her beloved husband. Tah's ever-present friends, who are known affectionately as the Suggettes, band together in times tough and merry, to lend their wits, strength and eccentricities to every imaginable event. Together, the clever Emily, the forceful Leigh, and the ethereal Louise comprise an alliance like no other, which folds in their three husbands and anyone else that awakens their protective ways.When a mysterious man in a kilt drives into town in his Land Rover, Emileigh is surprised at her sudden and growing attraction. Slowly, she comes to learn more about this intriguing visitor by the name of Ian MacDougal, who hails from the Isle of Skye in Scotland. And as she does, she must grapple with the ghosts of her past to forge what may be the beginnings of a powerful connection. At the same time that the Suggettes rally around Emileigh, they must also attend to the trials of a local teenager named Ely and his mother Hannah, who are faced with the menace that threatens them both, as well as the rest of the town. An absorbing drama spun of romance, humor, and spirituality, Destiny Skye paints a dazzling portrait of life's rich circumstances that bring individuals together, as they sometimes drive them apart. It's an enchanting must-read for anyone who believes in silver linings, and the providence and sparkle that can emerge from a glimmering lake.
