Wee Macgreegor Enlists

Macgreegor is more than an hour late for work—not because he overslept, but because he has enlisted. “The 9th H.L.I.,” he tells his astonished uncle. “Glesca Hielanders—Kilts.”

In Glasgow, on his nineteenth birthday, Macgreegor leaves the warehouse and the familiar life he has never quite known how to speak about. His uncle gives him money and his job back if he wants it; Christina, the girl he has courted for two years, is harder to read. With his regiment to report for duty in the morning, Macgreegor must tell his parents—and find out whether Christina will accept the ring he hopes will bind them before he goes. He has the courage to enlist. Can he manage the words that matter most?
