The Dramatic Conclusion to Michael Phillips's Shetland Islands Saga Loni Ford's unexpected inheritance of substantial real estate--not to mention a title--in the Shetland Islands has caused more than a stir in the quiet fishing hamlet of Whales Reef. How is life ever to be the same with an outsider--and a woman, at that--playing such a pivotal role in the life of this conservative community? But it isn't just the locals who have deep misgivings about the current situation. Loni herself never imagined this in her wildest dreams. What Loni is more sure of, however, is that she is falling in love--with Whales Reef, with its hardy people, with its simple, peaceful way of life, and with local chieftain David Tulloch, whose inheritance she has usurped, at least in the eyes of some. But life in Whales Reef is not without drama. Deep rifts exist between certain lifelong residents, and when one local resident turns up dead, suspicion is cast in the direction of the island's most prominent family. How Loni and David deal with this challenge will go a long way in determining their future, and that of the quaint island community.

George MacDonald (1824-1905), a Scottish poet, novelist, and minister, profoundly influenced notable figures such as Lewis Carroll, Mark Twain, and C.S. Lewis, who remarked on MacDonald's closeness to the Spirit of Christ. G. K. Chesterton recognized him as one of the greatest men of the 19th century. However, MacDonald’s use of Scots in his novels has often challenged readers. This new edition of his work presents the complete original text of Robert Falconer alongside English translations, making it more accessible. It includes an introduction by Michael Phillips, a leading expert on MacDonald, and features fifteen original illustrations by Leighton Isaacs. Translator David Jack notes that the story follows the hero's dual quest: to find his estranged earthly father and to seek a Heavenly Father amid the complexities of his Calvinist upbringing. This odyssey captures the essence of MacDonald’s spiritual vision, emphasizing that "Fatherhood is at the great world’s core." Praise for this edition highlights its accessibility and charitable aspect, as all profits support those in need. Readers who previously struggled with the Scots language express excitement about this illustrated, unabridged version, which encourages engagement with both the original and translated dialogue.

Michael Phillips Continues His Sweeping Shetland Islands Saga When Loni Ford is informed that she has inherited property in the Shetland Islands, she laughs. She wants nothing more than to sell it and be done with it. But when she arrives in the North Sea enclave, she is stunned to find that "the Cottage" is not at all what she expected, nor is David Tulloch, the man most of the islanders believe to be the rightful heir. The locals could hardly be more surprised that the heir is a woman--and an American. Loni, in turn, finds the islanders quaint and a bit behind the times. Expecting David to be as provincial as the rest of his clan, she discovers that there is far more to the man than meets the eye. And there is something about the peaceful atmosphere of the place--and the character of its most prominent citizen--that soon gets under her skin. Beneath the peaceful surface, however, change is threatening the island of Whales Reef. David's cousin Hardy Tulloch, whose claim to the inheritance now in Loni's hands was backed by oil investors, has not been deterred in his aim to control the island. But his co-conspirators have plans of their own, plans that put Loni's very life in danger.

In Scotland's Shetland Islands, a clan patriarch has died, and a dispute over the inheritance has frozen an entire community's assets. When a letter from the estate's solicitor finds Loni Ford, she is stunned. Orphaned as a child, Loni has always wanted a link to her roots. She sets out on a journey of discovery, but is this dream too good to be true?
