Her Scottish mother has died, and drought and crop failure force her family to abandon their Cambridgeshire farm. They embark on a journey by wagon with horses, dogs and friends, their destination Scotland’s northwest Highlands. But Scotland is now independent and those seeking its plentiful water are not welcome – crossing the patrolled Border is going to be challenging. On their journey through a decaying country the family face threats and hostility as well as kindness and support. It is a tale of determination and hope with echoes of the USA’s pioneering overlanders and John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57319130038647,"sku":"9781917881050","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781917881050.jpg?v=1784825757","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781917881050","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
