Corncrakes of Skye 2: Ask Not How (May)

Johnny and Mairi move to Isle of Skye with their son Tavish to manage the Kilbackie Estate.

It is a daunting prospect. The farm is rundown and the large house is dreary and damp. Tavish remains their hope for a better future. Johnny relishes the opportunity to farm. He is optimistic and determined to make the farm profitable, whereas Mairi struggles to adjust to her new identity.

Past events finally catch up with her, pitting her against family and friends who are sorely tested by her unreasonable behaviour. Without their loyal support, the whole Kilbackie project is doomed.

Mairi deals with raw emotions and insecurities in the hope that one day she can put her past behind her and become the person she has always wanted to be.
She has one chance to succeed. Only her past can stop her.
