Elizabeth Smith was now an older woman living alone. One day, while feeling inspired, a treasured family history that tied her family to the infancy of America and a Founding Father was brought to her mind. Memories flooded her mind as if a dam had burst nearby. Should she write about this and all of her interesting adventures?
 
Having been born in America, an unexpected family tragedy would take her and her family to the picturesque countryside of Scotland, where she remained all of her childhood until Divine Providence had other plans for her. As a young adult, it was there, in Scotland, that the course of action for her life made itself known in quite a surprising way. This is Elizabeth's story of the tenacity, hard work, and determination that had been present in each of her ancestors. It is also a tale of the importance of the Catholic Faith throughout her familial line.
