Sarah’s Own War

Description

This is the story of Sarah, a brave young girl growing up in the Scottish Highlands during the 18 th century. It is a time of civil war in Scotland as the Jacobites try to install Bonnie Prince Charles as the rightful king. At the tender age of eighteen, Sarah is left alone to provide for her younger siblings in desperate times.

She falls in love with a dashing young man who disappears for months without any contact. He reappears later to find Sarah betroth to another man. Sarah loves both of them and finds herself with a dilemma. However, her main responsibilities are the survival of her siblings and herself during harsh times with sparse resources available around her.
