Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was the district nurse on Papavray, a remote Hebridean island about 20 miles long. The island was beautiful in its wild, rugged way. I climbed up to the croft house above and knocked on the door. Mary-Ann welcomed me warmly, and I took off my sodden coat, hat, and gloves. #2 The island was a different kind of childhood for my two sons. They were five years apart, and they became great friends. They helped the shepherds with the shearing, watched calves being born, and listened to crofters' tales. #3 I had kept a chronological record of our lives before and since our arrival on Papavray, but I was not good at putting the results into albums. I began to arrange them onto the pages of an album, but inevitably I began to read them, remembering the events and people they depicted
