- catalog abstract """This is the story I have been writing for my whole life. With my life." writes Valerie Miner in this account of her family's migration from Edinburgh's tenements across the world. The Low Road explores location and dislocation in a large, poverty-stricken Scottish family.

This powerful and moving memoir is a dramatic passage through poverty, immigration, and national and sexual identity." "The Low Road navigates between family fable and fact as Miner leads us through her discoveries about back-street abortion and tuberculosis, orphanhood, exile, estrangement, and reconciliation to reach the place of acceptance and understanding."--Jacket.".
