Jennie Glenroy Paperback / softback
by Elisabeth Ogilvie
Paperback / softback
Description
Jennie and Alick Glenroy arrived in Maine with nothing, not even their names, starting anew in a different land, leaving the turmoil and violence of Scotland behind them.
Almost twenty years later, the "Godless Glenroys" are a prosperous, though sometimes controversial, family.
Alick is the proprietor of a successful shipyard, and Jennie has raised their five children to think for themselves, a trait that occasionally raises the ire of their staid neighbors. The Glenroys find themselves facing issues that they've long been sheltered from: slavery, enmity, and violence.
Jennie and Alick must defend their children against malicious accusations and guide them through the trials of adolescence, but also allow them the independence and space to grow into intelligent and principled adults.
When a figure from their fugitive past sails into town, everything they have worked to build over the past twenty years is in danger of being torn asunder; ultimately they must face these new challenges with the same courage and persevering spirit that carried them over Highland mountains so many years before.
