Publisher's Synopsis
Jean, Michael and Steph are three reluctant loners. Damaged and fearful of life, they cannot survive for much longer. A mixture of deceit, good luck and misfortune draws them together to Walden Manor, a secluded and gracious country house that promises sanctuary and freedom from impending destitution. For the first time in their lives they lose their dread of the future. If their sense of safety is built on delusion, does it matter? When the idyll is threatened, Jean, Michael and Steph discover that because their lives are now worth living they are also worth preserving. But at what cost?
