Synopsis:
In the 1950s many people make the great leap into the unknown and migrated to Canada. In the hope of a better life, a young Scotswoman and her family found themselves on a remote farm in the Prairie land of Alberta. In a superbly written account of their adventures, Margaret Gillies Brown tells the story of the highs and lows of settling in the New World and of the realities of a great migration. Far from the Rowan Tree is a moving, evocative and ultimately affirming story of human energy and initiative.
