Based on an eight-year study of a family on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, this book explores why the children in the family do not often speak Gaelic, despite the adults' best efforts to use the language with them, as well as the children's attendance at a Gaelic immersion school.

“The volume is a pioneer in the study of FLP and its relation to language shift. … as the first book-length treatment of FLP, this work will be a great resource for both undergraduate and graduate students in language education, sociolinguistics and bilingualism, as well as for researchers interested in minority-language development and maintenance, language socialisation and linguistic ideologies.” (Juyoung Song, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, Vol. 38 (1), March, 2017)
