Rosalie is walking her favourite cliff path when a storm blows in. While sheltering in a small cave, she becomes trapped. With no certainty of rescue, time weighs heavily, and memories of her son Jonnie, a climate activist lost at sea many years ago, come flooding back unbidden.

"A beautiful book. Tender, twisting and turning. Life seen through the eyes of a mother haunted. So beautifully written and full of surprises. Thank you so much to the author. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC." ***** Netgalley reviewer

"This is the kind of book that creeps up on you, you cant put it down before one more page, one more chapter what is Rosalie going to do next? Sometimes you feel empathy, sometimes annoyance, occasionally horror but you cannot look away.

Walking a coastal path goes wrong and Roly finds herself trapped. But its ok, shell be fine but time goes on she passes time thinking about her dead son and how little we actually know and understand people. She has a husband who loves her but cannot understand her grief ~ and especially cannot understand the ways she chooses to honour their son.

Its beautiful, its haunting, and it really makes you think about family, and love, and what matters in life. Its a book Ill think on long after Ive closed it." **** Netgalley reviewer
