Introduced in the first of the four 'Mamm Books', Mamm
of Perth is ancestor to Mamm of Dunnottar (whom we meet in They Are My Song). It is Mamm of Perth who makes the heirloom
under-bed storage chest, the travels of which these books follow.
Danann and Mamm of Perth, in the 200s AD, have a legacy
to pass on to their family.
While the under-bed storage chest that Mamm makes as a young
woman becomes a family heirloom, given into the keeping of each successive
generation, a more important legacy is at stake.
In the Song they Sing, their Voices sound forth loud and
clear the true Legacy of their Spirits.
Choice; Creation, Life, Death, Eternity; Peace; Faith; Healing;
Hope; Love; and Unity . . . these are the Legacy Danann and Mamm of Perth want
for their family , and the Voices rising in the Song dedicated to these values cannot
be silenced, not by fire nor by sword.
These are what bind this family together; these are what
bind their homeland together; these are what bind the peoples who share their
values together.
When the time comes to take their stand, stand they do, and
it is this Song which carries their legacy onward through the generations that
follow.
As Mamm of Dunnottar tells the story to the seventh generation, more than 200 years later, it becomes clear that the Song, cherished and fought for by Danann and Mamm
of Perth, have endured.
While the cost has been high, the sacrifices enormous, the
Song lives on in the lives of the descendants of those who Sang it so long ago.
Now more than 1500 years later, it lives on still; it will never be silenced.
