When Jamie King Grant, the travelling man, gives up his wandering life to wed Maggie McKenzie, their small farm is laughingly re-named King’s Croft. There they raise their family – straitlaced Nellie, lovesick Murn, lively Mary – and Evelyn, their youngest daughter.
Gifted and loving, Evelyn finds herself torn between two different worlds and two very different men. Johnny Burns, a child of the farmtouns like herself, has been her first love. Gillan Forbes is the son of the big house, and heir to the Lands of Rothiedrum. Neither man makes any secret of his love for her – and the time comes when Evelyn has to make a choice . . .
