Out of This Nettle

Colin Lowrie, a tall, red-haired Scotsman, is thrust into a life of exile at just 16 after the devastating battles at Culloden Field. His journey takes him from a brutal slave plantation in the West Indies to the vibrant streets of New Orleans, where he navigates a world of excess and a haunting romance with an eccentric heiress. Throughout it all, Colin clings to the dream of returning to Braidlowrie, the ancestral home from which he has been forever torn.
