Fairlyden at War — Gwen Kirkwood

In 1930s Scotland, families are starving and thousands of farms lie derelict. But Fairlyden has survived thanks to Logan Fairly's skill as a cattle breeder and his wife's thriftiness. At 17, their daughter Kirsty is fiercely proud of her father, but her brother Luke has no interest in farming ? and his fear of animals results in tragedy. Responsibility for Fairlyden is thrust on Kirsty just as the Second World War breaks out. But even in the face of all adversity, Kirsty retains her determination to keep the farm that has been the pride of the Fairlys for generations.
