It is the late 1800’s in rural Scotland. Lizzie Craig has lived most of her life toiling on her grandparent’s farm. Lizzie has a gift-she has occasional visions into the future. However, she is frightened and ashamed of this sixth sense. Lizzie is bright and a fine artist but she is naive. When a tailor’s apprentice comes to the farm to lend a hand during harvest time, Lizzie falls in love. Her lack of worldly wisdom gets her in trouble and to solve her predicaments, Lizzie continues to make some poor decisions.
Although what happens to Lizzie Craig is a tale that’s been told again and again, her visions into the future and the characters she encounters make The Road from Belhaven unique, interesting and enjoyable.
