Alec Forbes of Howglen

Your father's funeral crossed the bright farmyard while you hid in Brownie's manger with one hand around the cow's ear. Stay quiet, Annie; I will not tell your aunt where grief has carried you. You step into this one-chapter preview with Alec Forbes at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The Bruces had taken both umbrellas, and the garret waited ahead, but school now contained one person who had seen you and chosen kindness. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
