Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Miranda van de Heijning and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Geordie's Tryst: A Tale of Scottish Life" by Janet Milne Rae is a novel written in the late 19th century that captures the essence of rural life in Scotland. The story revolves around Grace Campbell, a young woman who returns to her aunt's property, Kirklands, where she seeks to reconnect with her childhood memories and establish her purpose in life. As she ventures out one blustery afternoon, Grace's desire to help others leads her to an encounter with Geordie Baxter, a poor herd-boy who becomes an integral part of her mission to aid the impoverished children of the valley. At the start of the novel, we see Grace standing on the steps of Kirklands, feeling the chill of the Scottish spring, as she prepares to embark on a quest inspired by her newfound calling. Despite warnings from her old nurse, she is determined to search for children in need of her support. The narrative introduces the backstory of Grace's family and her longing to make a difference in the lives of less fortunate youths. In her search, she encounters Geordie, a spirited boy who herds cattle for the local farm, and through their interaction, the foundation for a mentorship is established. Grace's compassion and vision kick-start a series of events that promise to kindle hope in the lives of Geordie and his little sister Jean. This opening segment sets the stage for themes of friendship, social responsibility, and personal transformation amidst the backdrop of the Scottish countryside.
