Description

 

It was the last of the ebbing days, the brink of the new season.

It was the murky hours, the clove between sunset and sunrise.

It was a tall tree with deep roots and it had been bleeding for a long while.

As summer falls into autumn, Hollie Starling is hit by the heart-stopping news that her father has died by suicide.

Thrust into a state of ‘grief on hard mode’, Hollie feels underserved by current attitudes toward grief and so seeks another way through the dark.

Following her first year without her father, Hollie embraces her lifelong interest in folklore and turns to the healing power of nature, the changing seasons and the rituals of ancient communities.
