The year is 1970. The place, a quiet roadside near the remote Tananeach Inn. Newly arrived Yvonne is disturbed by the sight of a man resting in the heather. She meets 'The Mad Man in the Heather' again soon after, and decides that she would do well to give him a wide berth from then on. However, 'Someone', somewhere, appears to have other ideas!
It is not long before she discovers that life at the Inn suits her, although there are challenges ahead, especially when she becomes involved with the local retreat for ex-service personnel. Encouragement comes from most of her colleagues, nearly all the guests, some of the local characters, even Rabbie, the 'pet' wild stag. But why does the volatile chef treat her with such hostility? And why does she keep thinking of her father?
Never having thought much about religion before, she begins to query if the answers she has spent most of her life searching for can only be found in the Book she has been given and especially by allowing herself to acknowledge Who the Author is.
