'You are dead to us'

This is the uplifting story of her journey to find herself and flourish in a world she has been taught to fear and abhor.

Guilt and shadows from her past haunt her in flashbacks, panic attacks and a fear of the dark. However she also finds a world full of colour, love and happiness she has never known before. The wild beauty of the hills, the people she meets and the secrets slowly revealed by the cottage all provide an intriguing backdrop to Tegan's drama.

The novel is set in spring, a story of hope, new growth, of the discovery of self and the joy of living.

"This debut novel is a triumph."

"Loved the book .... I was gripped and couldn't put it down."

"It was very thought provoking and emotional with lots of plot twists to keep you on your toes. I highly recommend this book.
