{"product_id":"9781927443330","title":"Oatcakes and Courage","description":"The year is 1773. Anne Grant cannot bear that her father has betrothed her to a man who is as cruel as he is wealthy. Instead, she persuades her life-long friend, Ian MacLeod, to help her flee to Ullapool and get aboard the Hector, a ship carrying Scottish settlers to the new colony of Pictou, Nova Scotia. The voyage begins well and the Scots look forward to a life of freedom in the New World. But as Anne adjusts to the Hector, she begins to realize that life at sea may be more than she bargained for: storms, smallpox and near famine threaten to tear the ship apart. Oatcakes and Courage, a tribute to the brave Scots who ventured across the North Atlantic Ocean in search of a better life, is told with harrowing realism.","brand":"Quattro Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116349309168,"sku":"9781927443330","price":4.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781927443330_p0.jpg?v=1763636683","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781927443330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
