Ann Leslie, wife of a fisherman-farmer and mother of nine, faces one tragedy after another on a wind-swept coast in the far-northern Shetland Islands of the 1800s. Her two-room crofthouse and rocky plot of land leased from the wealthy landowner can hardly produce enough wool and grain. When her husband is gone at sea, what sustains her? Though Ann is poor in material goods, she is rich in spirit. She draws strength from the ministers and neighbors she meets in Christian worship. Though she trusts in God, she bares her doubts in prayer: What disaster will befall her next? What good is God in the face of great loss? What comfort will sustain her through trials she never imagined? Readers will ask themselves the questions that plague Ann, for who doesn't struggle with what to expect of a partner, how to keep children safe, and where to find God in life's losses and uncertainties? Shetland Mist tells how one resilient woman musters the courage to keep going even when she can barely detect a path forward through the thick and gloomy mist.
