About This Book
The laird of Cawdorstoun was a proud and lonely old man who from upbringing, instinct and habit, was accustomed to have his own way.
Sand was his five-year-old orphan grandson.
It was natural that the old man should want the boy to live with him at Cawdorstoun, and the reply he received from the child's guardian was one of consent -- but with conditions. The laird stormed inwardly at the impertinence. Conditions! Things were coming to a pretty pass when a chit of a girl, a penniless little nobody, could write from some twopenny ha'penny cottage on the Suffolk coast, dictating terms to him -- the laird of Cawdorstoun.
But, as he discovered to his grudging admiration, when the occasion demanded it the "chit of a girl" could be as determined and uncompromising as he himself.
Strongly interwoven into this theme is the story of Callum's deepening interest in Anne and its effect of the laird's niece, Marian, and her matchmaking mother.
Hero: Callum Fraser
Heroine: Anne Rutherford
