About this audiobook
In the mid-1990s, Mark Sheppard is a respected military officer with a future that appears solid from the outside. Inside, alcohol is already reshaping him. When his absence exposes what he has been holding together, the fallout is swift, and the cost keeps rising.
Decades later, Mark is living the life he managed to salvage: quiet, contained, and carefully controlled. He believes he has learned how to live with what he lost. But when he discovers the woman he failed decades earlier is now living on Vancouver Island, he uproots his life to seek her out. The fragile balance he has come to depend on begins to crumble. He is forced to reckon with what he never truly faced, and with the reality that absence still carries a cost.
He came to the gate to find her — but what waits on the other side is nothing he expected.
