Stroma is a hard-working 30 year old Highlander who lives in Blàs, a small rural village on the North Coast 500. Her passion: to save her language and culture from dying out. It also plays a large part in her everyday job as she travels around the region. However, it is not only her culture that is under threat, it is Blàs itself as it struggles to retain its population. Into the tide of people leaving strides Auntie Lottie, returning home to stay. She stirs it around, juggles it up and generally lives, works and plays given the chance. Lottie's return strengthens her friendship with Maureen and Ellen, old school pals of Stroma's late mother. Mary in her 80s completes this inter-generational friendship. Full of humour, the story follows the women through the first year of Auntie Lottie's return with Stroma's life being the most affected by her arrival. Follow their highs and lows, their festivals and celebrations, their laughter and their tears in this lovable community.
