About this listen

The MacDonalds emigrate from Scotland after a family tragedy but cannot escape the youngest child's strange insights that threaten to expose her mother's secret past in the Scottish Highlands nor the father's dominance over his four daughters, whose often hilarious tactics, divert his wrath as they come of age during San Francisco's colorful 1960s. The youngest child's fate is sealed the day she is born when her mother defies her husband by not giving their new daughter a saint's name as is their tradition. The decision forever sets the MacDonalds on a course for disaster, and no one can foresee that daughter will grow up to threaten the family unity. Their father's declaration about his wife and four daughters seems to be coming true: "Doomed to hell, every last one of you" as the family is on the verge of imploding, and it is the mother who must defy her husband once again.

This story is about reconciliation and acceptance because of the dynamics of a family changes over time. Listeners will learn some Scottish traditions and words and the history of one of San Francisco's most famous neighborhoods known to many as "The Castro" during the 1950s and 1960s.
