"The Last of Their Race" by Annie S. Swan is a story set in the early 1900s about Isla Mackinnon, a resilient young woman. She faces the potential loss of her family’s castle because of her brother's irresponsible actions and mounting debt. As Isla deals with the news of her brother's return after being dishonorably discharged from the army, she is determined to protect her sick father from the truth. To ease the burden of their money problems, Isla considers renting their beloved home to a rich family from America to alleviate their money troubles. This all sets the stage for a tale of devotion to family, the influence of the past, and a fight to hold onto what is theirs.
