Dream a Little Dream

The next heartwarming instalment of the Timber Girls Series.

The Plot

Trixie and her fellow lumberjills arrive at the MacKay estate in Scotland, a stunning but neglected property that stands as a testament to the region's rich history. Their host, Noah MacKay, is visibly displeased to find four young women instead of the expected men from the forestry commission. His initial resentment sets the stage for a tale of perseverance and empowerment.

Determined to prove their worth, Trixie, Jo, Hen, and Vi embark on a mission to restore both the estate and their own reputations. As they toil amidst the towering trees, the women face not only the challenges of physical labour but also the prejudices of a male-dominated society. Through their journey, themes of friendship, resilience, and self-discovery come to the forefront.

Themes and Style

Archer’s writing is rich with vivid descriptions that bring the Scottish landscape to life, creating an immersive backdrop for the characters' struggles and triumphs.
