About this audiobook

In the wild fells of the Lake District, a lost boy stumbles upon a fugitive hiding from the world. What begins as a chance encounter evolves into a life-changing friendship, unearthing memories of a war-torn past. The isolation of the mountains mirrors the solitude of a soul in penance, waiting for a sign of grace. It is a gentle yet powerful story of how the innocent can redeem the guilty.
