Daughter of the Isles

"A captivating, poignant, and transformative journey" -Fran Stedman
¿
Through her speaking and writing, Alice Scott-Ferguson's unique perspectives have encouraged countless women on both sides of the Atlantic. Now, in this delightful memoir, Alice for the first time gives details of her Shetland Island childhood under the Northern Lights, beside the ebb and flow of the sea, on the carefree sands, and within a crofter's cottage home. We follow her through challenges of Mainland schooling and boarding, then marriage, motherhood, ministry, and widowhood. We witness how her growing and evolving faith steadied her through turbulent tides and winds of change-currents that carried Alice to unexpected and undreamed-of adventures far from her native isles, to Ireland, England, Germany, and the United States. The experience and wisdom shared eloquently in this book shine light on the path of women young and old in the challenges they face today.
