Synopsis: For Christy Sinclair, growing up among the people of Clanna has been both a blessing and a curse. She joined the group of Scottish crofters as a small child, an orphan girl reluctantly brought home by Mairi Mor, the clan leader, whose own baby died at birth. Now, almost a young woman, Christy feels welcome at Clanna but cannot escape the sense that she is a changeling, a poor replacement for Mairi's lost daughter. It is David, Mairi's son and Christy's closest companion, who encourages her to love the beautiful but harsh island where life is a constant struggle against the elements—and against rapacious English landowners eager to force tenant farmers from their homes. But when a tragic accident sends David to the Scottish mainland, perhaps forever, Christy must decide where her heart lies: with David or with her adopted kinspeople and the magnificent heritage they share. Rich with vivid settings and magnetic characters, Daughter of the Storm is a powerful return to the land made beloved by Jeanne Williams in her epic story of Scottish clan life, The Island Harp. Both longtime fans and new readers will discover in Christy Sinclair a courageous and passionate heroine who cannot be forgotten.
