(2) YA After the nineteenth-century Highland Clearances leave her homeless, fifteen-year-old Sarah flees to relatives in the Outer Hebrides while her family (including younger sister Jeannie) sails from Scotland to Canada for a new start. The sisters' alternating verse narratives are braided together in a delicate, intricate system of repetition. Historical events are authentic and poignant, the sisters courageous and well realized. Author's note.
