A man tries to build for his future by reconnecting with his past, leaving behind the ruins of the life he has lived.

But as Iain begins working on he old blackhouse, he uncovers a secret from the past, which forces him to question everything he ever thought to be true. Who can he turn to without betraying those to whom he is closest? His ailing mother, his childhood friend and his former love are both the building - and stumbling - blocks to his new life. Where do you seek sanctuary when home has changed and will never be the same again?A fine, rewarding readThe Sunday Herald
