They call him the Beast, a fierce warrior with loyalty to none, but this Highlander has come home to claim his heritage...and the daughter of his mortal enemy.

The family of Kincaid of that Ilk descends from the ancient Mormaers of Lennox whose royal fiefdom was in central Scotland. There were several branches of the Kincaid family that immigrated to America. Descendants settled in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Texas and other parts of the United States.

Can this Highlander conquer his rivals and claim his destiny before the woman who’s captured his heart becomes his sworn enemy’s bride?

Jamaica Kincaid's brother Devon Drew died of AIDS on January 19, 1996, at the age of thirty-three. Kincaid's incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother's life and death is also a story of her family on the island of Antigua, a constellation centered on the powerful, sometimes threatening figure of the writer's mother. My Brother is an unblinking record of a life that ended too early, and it speaks volumes about the difficult truths at the heart of all families. My Brother is a 1997 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.
