Wowzers!  This is a pro-bass fisherman type book, in that it hooked me good, and then reeled me through some heartbreaking, stormy waters. The plot gutted me and left me bleeding at times, yet I would recommend that everyone bite onto this story and go through the same heart-wrenching process. It's a pleasure to be gutted like this. Seriously! The characters in this story are now my best friends (even though they were some of the gutting party).This story is set in Prince Edward Island in Nova Scotia (New Scotland) and Scotland (the old). The historical details of life in Scotland and starting out in the new world (Nova Scotia) were very interesting to me. Harriet, Allen, Margaret, Ian, and other characters will imbed themselves into your soul and you will HAVE to read the entire story to figure out what happens to them. Yes...your free-agency will be taken away from you for a while. The laundry might stack up...your kids might have to microwave frozen burritos for dinner because you can't get unhooked from this book...but I've survived to the end to tell you that the laundry will still be there for you when you're done, and that burritos for the kids for a few days will make them more appreciative of your meal-making efforts from here on out. So you have no excuse! Bite this story's hook and just go with it. It's a story you won't regret reading.
