Highland Harvest: Indian Summer

English

By (author): Adrian Streather Stuart Edgar

A mother and son bound to a land of terrible beauty. A story that will make you smile and make you cry and perhaps make you wonder. Wonder at the joy of the dreadful power of nature at it's wildest, at the power of human resilience and the joy and the pain of a small boy growing up and at the strength and love of his young mother and their shared love of the land. Just three years after the Great War, in the remote Highlands of Scotland, during a terrible storm, Màiri McDonald gives birth to a son. Her croft, high on the moors, on the slopes of the golden mountain, supports her few sheep. The sour soil provides a scant living for her and her troubled husband Hamish. Callum, her newborn son contains all her hopes and the hopes of the tiny community of The Glen who have recently lost so many lives to the devastations of war. As Callum grows he begins to love this capricious land and its way of life as much as his mother does, despite its hardships and setbacks., despite heartbreak, tragedy and dangers. But he also begins to yearn for a life beyond The Glen. Màiri too begins to wonder if her beloved son will ever have a future beyond that of her own small and remote world. Can Màiri's and Callum's dreams ever be fulfilled in such tumultuous times and against so many obstacles. See more
