A family of eight siblings, whose father is missing in action must fulfill the deathbed request of their mother to keep the family together! Faced with either separation or guardianship of their cruel, self-serving uncle, the eldest daughter considers the impossibility of an outcropping of rock their great-uncle had called Castleknob. This story is about the importance of family, endurance, perseverance, and an unyielding trust in God as they begin a new life struggling for survival in a wild and untamed wilderness.
