Originally from Glasgow a gifted soprano where I had a promising singing career in the late 1960’s with countless successful events behind me captivating audiences all over Scotland and a major tour of the United States. Recalling those days one memory close to my heart was the time I was asked to sing on Christmas Eve in Glasgow Cathedral it was packed as any concert hall and I had experienced a feeling of immense pride which I have never forgotten and when I began to sing a hushed silence fell over the Cathedral my first notes I knew that these acoustics were among the most beautiful anywhere in the world for my voice as I sang the Lord’s Prayer.

“A moving story of shattered dreams in which Barbara March achieved international stardom adored for her dramatic soprano voice of unique beauty and passion. At the peak of her considerable powers adverse circumstances closed that chapter in her life and living with this regret haunted her deeply and emotionally throughout her life
As her thoughts centred on the tragic death of her husband Edward feeling somewhat saddened as she approached her sixtieth birthday. Still glamourous and beautiful she decides to go on a cruise and another phase in her life was beginning and what that might hold for her she could only imagine and that was where she befriends Lord Marcus Logan the laird of Glen Haven Castle on the cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2nd and in the weeks to come on-board ship the emotional attraction was established and strong. Her life was not over a new chapter had begun, a year later they were married.
It soon becomes apparent to Marcus that in the shadows of Barbara's life going back into the past and having to recall the loss of her career had hurt her deeply and emotionally, that chapter was one subject on which she found it painful to cope with and she avoided it whenever she could.
Glen Haven will take you on an enchanting journey with dear friends with heart-warming thoughts of all times and a great deal of nostalgia, you will never want to lose the stories spell or bid farewell to its wonderful characters. All that I could say of the story to any purpose I have endeavoured to say it.”

Margaret Lauder Book Review by Jacqui Wright
Glen Haven' :- A romantic & enchanting read that I couldn't put down whilst on holiday. I loved how the author's description, beautifully set each scene in precise detail & each chapter was as captivating as the next. This novel could be set in any era as it overwhelmingly captures real & difficult family issues & shows how differently each character deals with life events. There were a few great surprises too that I didn't anticipate. The book left me with a warm happy feeling but wanting to read more about the characters’ lives & the stories from Glen Haven. This is the author's first novel & she lives in the Angus Area.
An ideal Christmas gift that will be appreciated by any mother, daughter, grandmother, sister , Aunt , Niece or female friend . Written by Mrs Jacqueline Wright ( Jacqui)
