Eric Marshall, recent college graduate, has the world at his feet.
As the summer days grow longer and their friendship blossoms, sweet, silent Kilmeny, with her sunny enthusiasm and haunting music, manages to do what neither the co-eds of Queenslea College nor the village lasses of Lindsay have been able to do-capture Eric\'s heart..
When Eric stumbles into her hidden orchard, he brings a whole new world with him, and a friendship that both frightens her and thrills her.
She wiles away her hours helping her aunt and uncle on the farm and playing her violin in her favorite secluded spot.
She\'s been sheltered all her life due to her disability and the scandal surrounding her birth.
Eric is still not thinking of romance, but he\'s about to find it in a most unexpected place...
Kilmeny Gordon is sweet and smart and beautiful, perfect in every way but one: she can\'t speak.
Eric falls into the easy routine of island life, and his status as eligible bachelor endears him to the locals.
When an old school friend asks Eric to substitute teach for him on Prince Edward Island while he recuperates from an illness, Eric thinks, why not? He\'s got some time to kill before diving into the family business with his father, and the rustic island may be a good diversion for him.
Living the bachelor lifestyle with his widowed father, he\'s never given much thought to romance.
He\'s handsome, popular, wealthy, and surprisingly, single.
