When Jennie Gilchrist fled from the Scottish Estate of Linnmore
during the fiery violence of the infamous Highland Clearances, she
planned to make her way to her sisters in England, but instead she
found herself sailing on the brig Paul Revere, bound for the coast
of Maine--the New World. Accompanying her is Alick Gilchrist,
cousin to her late husband, now a fugitive. Jennie feels obligated
to help Alick escape Scotland, as she is partly to blame for his
outlaw status. SInce the sponsor of the trip requires that all
immigrant men aboard the Paul Revere be married, Jennie sails as
Alick's "wife", the pair traveling under an assumed name, with
little aside from the clothes that they wear. They arrive at the
small but thriving town of Maddox on the newly settled Maine coast,
unlike any place they have known before. They immediately set to
building a new life for themselves--Alick building boats, and
Jennie teaching the well-to-do MacKenzie children--but while Alick
is fixing to live out his days on American soil, Jennie is biding
her time and saving money for the passage back to England. But
unforeseen events derail her plans, not the least of which is her
bond with the inscrutable Alick Glenroy.
