0n a blustery, November morning, a young girl and her

mother set off on their annual Thanksgiving week trip to

Grandma Shy’s country cottage in the rolling hills of

Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

It will be a week filled with tender hugs, tasty treats and trips

to the attic looking for treasures of the past and sharing stories

set in the homeland of her grandmother’s beloved Scotland.

This year, Grandma Shy is ready with a tale of a lifetime. The story of a

wee lass named Kieran who was to discover the hard way that:

‘Sticks and Stones can break my bones

but words will never hurt me’

…IS A GREAT BIG LIE!
