Bree McDonald and her Grandfather are the sole survivors of their immediate family. Following their eviction from the family home during the Highland Clearances in 1792, they decide to walk to London to plead their case with the absentee landlord.
Related from the point of view of eleven-year-old Bree, the tale is told with a charming simplicity and humour and one cannot but empathise with the plight of the girl and her Grandfather.
Can they reach London in safety? If they do, will the new owner of their land have any sympathy for them or any understanding of their troubles?
A story of real courage and determination in the face of adversity.
