| Alister, who had
inherited but the little that remained of the land which had begrudging
provided his once-mighty and still-proud clan a meager subsistence—the
land known as Strathruadh—, was finding it increasingly difficult to care
for his beloved people. The very land on which the village stood was now
the property of a lowlander—a man who cared for neither the land nor the
people, but whose sole interest lay in his investment, prestige, and prominence.
The small portion of land remaining to Alister was his to farm, to nurture,
to love. Oh, how he loved this hard, barren, hilly, heather-covered, wasteland.
But God loved Alister far more than Alister could love the land, and, as
a result, a sacrifice must be made. Alister must be made to choose between
the seen and unseen; must be made to understand that ownership is not to
own. God created and retains ownership of all things. We are given but
a brief stint upon this earth that we may learn that which He would have
us learn.
While Alister found the sacrifice far greater than he ever thought he could bear, with the aid of his brother Ian ( a man who, quite possibly, walked midst the Angels), Alister did that which must be done—obey his God, and with obedience came understanding, and with understanding, peace. Welcome to the world of ancient Scotland, where the people appear as hard as the land upon which they live. Explore their lives, their loves, their dreams, and their hopes. Discover that which we must all eventually learn if we are to ever know true life..--(Dr. David J. Thomas)--
