About The Fisherman's Gift by Julia R. Kelly

Set in 1900 in the Scottish fishing village of Skerry, Julia R. Kelly’s historical novel begins when a young boy washes ashore during a storm. Teacher Dorothy agrees to care for him while the villagers try to learn where he came from. His resemblance to Dorothy’s son, who was lost to the sea years earlier, makes the mystery deeply personal.

The boy’s arrival also brings Dorothy face to face with her past and her brief love affair with Joseph, the fisherman who found him. As winter closes in and the village becomes snowbound, old secrets and questions about the past surface. Readers drawn to historical fiction set in Scotland, village mysteries, and stories of love and loss may find this novel appealing.
