Sarah Sandlin is obsessed with genealogy and uses it to hide from life after losing her husband to cancer. To this thirty-something, auburn-haired, blue-eyed American, the world is limited to her computer, her parents who live nearby, and one best friend in another state.

She takes every opportunity to dodge interruption to her self-imposed solitude so when a letter inviting her to conduct research arrives from an old and respected family in the U. K., she forgets to open it.

The next day she finds the letter buried on her desk, reads it and throws it in the trash. After a third retrieval, her natural curiosity pushes her to call the letter?s author, Thomas Smith.

Something in his voice leads her to take her first step forward in years. Accepting his invitation, she travels to the family?s country estate Highbridge, in North Yorkshire.

The 125 year-old house reveals secrets and clues which take her and Thomas on a road trip to Aberdeen Scotland for insight and answers. Finding threads to past generations outside the U. K., she becomes entwined with Thom?s family, and begins to appreciate life again.

With the celebration of Christmas at Highbridge in a reestablishment of family tradition, the healing and awakening of Sarah?s heart begins.

?Windows? is a modern romance mixed with an inside look at family life on a large old estate, and those who keep it running. A genealogical mystery story set in the present with a surprising backward glance.
