Eighteen-year-old Barrie MacDonald grows up near Carlisle with a stern grandmother who hates the theatre and has let her believe that her mother is dead. The day Barrie learns that her mother, an actress, is very much alive, she runs away to find her. On the way she meets a rich Scotsman back from America, who takes her on a motoring tour of Scotland.
A fresh romantic comedy, with the roads and landscapes of Scotland as its backdrop.
Told partly by Barrie herself, the story is easy to read in the language you are learning.
