To the Cry of the Sand’ling

This is the story of three Scottish generations for an influential Scottish family: David Miller, his father Tom, and his daughter Rosie. It follows their lives through two early 18th century timelines: Rosie growing up in Cupar, a small town in East Fife; Tom, mercantile trading in Delft; and David attending an orphan school in Edinburgh before developing into an inspiring Scottish teacher.

It is a detailed story of their three lives during a time of great social, political and economic upheaval. Each one is strongly influenced by the lovers and friends they encounter on their life’s journey.

It is a story of love, loss, and betrayal. It is a story of redemption, the value of learning and the acceptance of change.

This is a story of the influence of women in an age where history tells only of men.
