1774 Scottish Highlands.
When Duncan MacKay was faced with a destroyed farm, thanks to the British, he was forced to go find work to provide for his family. He spent many months away from home, but after a nearly devastating injury, his employer sent him home to recover. His employer offered a solution amid rumors that highland lairds were evicting tenants, giving him many things to talk over with his wife, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth worked hard to keep her family together while Duncan was away, but every day was hard. One son didn’t seem to acknowledge the crisis they were in; the other son grew more sullen without his father or brother to help.
When Duncan came home unexpectedly and suggested a solution to their problems, the family must make a decision. Did the answer lie in reclaiming their land, or should they start fresh in America?
Henry, forced with his family from their Scottish Highlands farm, travels to the American colonies when tragedy strikes the ship. His angry response to the trauma upon arrival is to enlist in the Continental Army, seeking revenge on the British that decimated his homestead.
Catherine, who operates the family plantation with her ailing mother, welcomes Henry for a prolonged visit despite her personal reservations. Her mother finds the addition of an eligible bachelor for her daughter a delightful opportunity. His reluctance at the mother’s enormous request begs the question of whether his moral compass will align with her wishes.
Will they manage to find love, healing, and hope for the future… Before the Sun Sets?
