But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

Artie Dam spends his days teaching history to eleventh graders, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbors, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation.
He looks out at the world and turns a question over and over in his mind: How is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?

John of John follows cal, john (his father), and ella (his grandmother) as cal returns home from the mainland and university to the island he was raised on.
stewart’s writing wonderfully conveyed the isolation and loneliness of the island and the characters living on it. the story was also so full of love and hope and faith, with identity being the overarching theme of it all.

John of John by Douglas Stuart
tells the heartbreaking story of a young man’s return home and how the bonds of family life are torn by the weight of expectation. Out of money and with little to show for his art school education, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry home to the island of Harris.

In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal resumes his old life, caught between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his Glaswegian grandmother Ella, who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for decades. As the seasons pass, everything is poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly entangled.
