Sweet Landing is a story about Bella Fergus who was born in Pictou Landing, Nova Scotia. Orphaned at birth, she was raised by Millie, her mother's sister, and her uncle Charlie. A discovery in the cellar of her old homestead brings her back to the landing and forces her to recall a life she thought she had left forever. She wants a perfect trip down memory lane, but instead, she unearths a completely different history. She finds that she is more connected to this place and to her early years than she could possibly have imagined. And she finds that even now, even now in her last years, her story is not yet finished.
