Riassunto

A scrappy Scottish lassie suffers eviction in 1860 from her highland croft but never gives up trying to prove her family the rightful heirs to their Rannoch homeland. My Blood is Royal is an epic story of lovers torn asunder, family loyalties and betrayals, and one young woman’s undying dream of home. Be transported to the turbulent time of the infamous Highland Clearances by an author born and raised in Scotland. Glens and hills were forcibly emptied of the native people, often without notice. They fled to the Lowlands to work in grinding poverty in factories and mines. Some left in the “coffin ships” for a better life in the North America and Australia. This family of MacGregors believed their motto, 'S rioghal mo dhream, meaning My Blood is Royal and with pride and determination, fought back.
