It outlines the family's contributions and struggles, particularly in relation to their work as engineers. The narrative then gradually shifts to the more specific stories of Robert Stevenson's great-grandfather and his siblings, detailing their ventures in business, their early familial relationships, and the bittersweet legacy of loss and resilience that permeated the Stevensons' household.
