Quote preview background for Jean M. Grant
The scene unfolded before him as though he were a ghost. His mother stood on the raised stump, her body tied to the tall stake behind her. A pile of wood encircled her feet. Only a small crowd had gathered in the courtyard, despite his father__ commands that all should attend. Alasdair sobbed at her feet, calling out to her. The young Alasdair climbed on the pile and clutched her flowing gown. She had been dressed in her finest, not stripped down to her chemise like the handmaid who stood tied to a post beside her. His father had always liked a display. Alasdair__ hands reached and passed over his mother__ large pregnant belly. With that, she sobbed, too. __h, Ali, be good for Momma. I__l see you in the pearly white heaven that God has promised us. Be steadfast, son. Trust your heart._ __ight it,_ his father ordered.
