What you need to know before your trail

One chilly April morning a stranger shows up at a commune in the Catskill Mountains, upstate New York. Conor is greeted by Liv, sixty-seven years old, mother, cancer survivor and founder of the once pilgrimage-worthy Birdeye Colony, now well past its heyday. Liv lets him stay, unaware that her two oldest friends are about to make a devastating announcement. Conor seems to offer a lifeline, but who is he really? As truths masked by free spirit push their way into the open, Liv must reassess what she asks of those she loves most.

Travel Guide

The Catskills

Birdeye is the name of the Commune in this book. It’s in a remote part of New York State – in the stunning area of the Catskills and the way it’s evoked is simply divine:

“The light between the mountains was subdued and still, washing everything in a palette of fawn and slate and rust, High up on Sheridan and North Dome, the snow lingered among the conifers, while down the valley a few vestiges clung on in clefts and the corners of backyards. The only thing that moved was the river, gushing and spilling towards Apollonia and the reservoir beyond.”
