Publisher's Synopsis
Michael Gardiner has always lived in Coldhaven - as an outsider. Now living in self-imposed exile out on the point, Michael feels at one with the landscape, yet more distant from the village community. But that is about to change. When Moira Birnie decides that her abusive husband is the devil and kills herself and her two young sons, a terrible chain of events begins. Michael's infatuation with fourteen-year-old Hazel, Moira's only surviving child, leads him on a journey where he must face his present and his past. Walking in penitence, he must be reborn into the world where he was always a stranger.
