The powerful story of a 1,000-mile healing walk—from the lochs of Scotland to England's southwest coast—in a remarkable evocation of modern-day Britain.

Raynor Winn knows that her husband Moth's health is declining, getting worse by the day. She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he—can he?—set out with her on another healing walk?

The Cape Wrath Trail is hundreds of miles of grueling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs. But the lure of the wilderness and the beguiling beauty of the awaiting glens draw them northwards. Being one with nature saved them in their darkest hour years earlier—and their hope is that this experience can work its magic again.

So Raynor and Moth embark on an incredible thousand-mile journey: from Scotland to the familiar shores of the South West Coast Path, from Northumberland to the Yorkshire moors, and from Wales to home again. As they map with each step the landscape of their island nation, they find themselves facing existential questions—about themselves and about their country—during this epic, inspiring odyssey.

Stay tuned at the end of the audiobook for a conversation with Raynor and Moth over a "cuppa".

Incredible

As I often due during this period of my life I consume my books in a hybrid fashion, both with reading the written and word and listening to them. Having listened to almost half of this whole series, it's made me feel even closer to Ray and Moth- especially since I listened to their tidbit of conversation at the very end. They seem like honest, good humans and that's hard to fake in a conversation. As far as I know, they aren't trained actors. My profession and lived experience has given me the wisdom to know that you just can't fake that kind of authenticity. Yes, I know there are exceptions, but I believe in my soul that this is not one of them.
Ray, thank you for sharing the beautiful connection you both have with nature and with each other. I am forever changed by you both being willing to give these stories to us and by the vulnerability it took to share them.

Highly recommend

I loved all 3 of Winn’s books. Her stream of consciousness and observational style can me across like poetry.
Beautifully written.
Best wishes to both Raynor and Moth.
