Excerpt from Heather and Snow, Vol. 2 of 2: A Novel
For all the superiority constantly manifested by her in her relations with Francis, the feeling was never absent from her that he was of a race above her own and now the Visage of the young officer in her father's old regiment never, any more than that of her play fellow, rose in her mind's eye uncrossed by the livid mark of her whip from the temple down the cheek Whether She had actually seen it so, she did not certainly remember, but so it always came to her, and the face of the man never cost her a tear it was only that of the boy that made her weep.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is set in the late 19th century and tells the story of Kirsty Barclay and her half-brother Steenie, whose development from a barely functioning member of society to a man of faith and usefulness is at the heart of this book. Kirsty is a thoughtful, energetic young woman, who lives with her family on a farm in the Scottish Highlands. Steenie, on the other hand, is a so-called 'fule', a 'half-wit' whose thoughts and feelings are almost impenetrable to those around him. The story explores the relationship between the two siblings, as they deal with the effects of a cruel act of revenge against Steenie. Though the author avoids sentimentality, this book is a powerful examination of the nature of redemption and love amidst the harsh rural communities of the time and place. The author's beautiful prose explores the changing relationship between the two and the people around them, examining the different ways that people find meaning and purpose in their lives, while laying bare the injustices and lack of understanding which can exist within communities.
