About this book
On a cold spring afternoon at Kirklands, Grace Campbell prepares to leave the old Scottish house on a search that troubles her nurse. She has returned with her aunt after several years away, and the familiar grounds recall games with her brother Walter, who has gone to sea. Alongside those memories, Grace's developing faith gives her a purpose beyond the pleasures of her childhood.
Janet Milne Rae brings that purpose into scenes of lessons and friendship with Geordie and little Jean. Geordie wants to practise spelling while herding so that he can read the Bible. Jean finds delight in the walled garden, while both children marvel at the greenhouse. Grace's teaching about the Good Shepherd takes shape among blossoms, bright windows and unfamiliar plants. This children's story offers a close view of Scottish rural life, with learning, religious belief and acts of kindness woven into its everyday encounters.
