Summary

Though it's not quite the motherland, Glasglow, Kansas, makes a fine home for Scotsman Rob MacPherson and his son Ewan. As the elder MacPherson blows up whisky stills in his attempts to make a single-malt Scotch, Ewan falls in love-at twelve years of age-with Shirley Porter. There's no turning back for Ewan. From that moment on, his heart has set its course. Through adolescence and into adulthood, through becoming a high school teacher, bagpipe instructor, loyal son, and keeper of all Scottish traditions, Ewan has found his one true passion-much like his father's obsession with single malt Scotch. A passion that-through trial and error-will teach him that love is an acquired taste...
