As
a child, Catherine McDonald is left at Hedingham Priory by her mother who
never returns. Fifteen years later, she devotes her life to Christ and is
contented until she visits the Earl of Essex to nurse a mysterious young
woman. What she learns from them sends her on a mission to Scotland in search
of her mother. During her journey, she witnesses the injustices of life in
the mid 1600s; the downtrodden and the poor, those afflicted with leprosy and

windswept Scottish shore line Catherine learns that her mother’s life became
inexplicably entangled with a debauched, subterranean clan – and what she did
to survive. Read
