The year is 1758, and Jamesina Mackenzie is staying with relatives in her clan's homeland in the western highlands of Scotland. Surrounded by Mackenzies, Jamesina feels safe, but danger reaches her even there. One day she is stolen! She awakes to find herself a prisoner aboard the Sparrowhawk, bound for Virginia. The hardships and adventures that follow take her from bond slavery at Shaw's Plantation into the mountains of Cherokee country and on the strangest of all roads home.
