Description
Bridie lives on the remote Scottish island of Tornish, with its wild seas and big skies. She loves her home, but secretly dreams of flight to America and freedom in the New World. As the youngest of three sisters, Bridie's family is struggling under the cruel oppression of their new Laird. The Laird's spiteful rule has taken a toll on those around him, including some of his own household. When the full extent of his cruelty becomes clear, Bridie must act to help her loved ones escape to safety. With danger looming, Bridie's daydreams are replaced by a desperate need for action. In this gripping story, Bridie faces impossible choices and confronts the harsh realities of life on the island. Will she find a way to save those she cares about, or will the forces against her prove too strong?
