What you need to know before your trail

Lora Ffennig’s happy family life is shattered when her husband unexpectedly leaves her for another woman. Her life stops and shatters. The world she has taken for granted is suddenly very unfamiliar, and Lora must find a new compass to guide her and her children.

Set in a tight-knit Welsh-speaking community at a time when women just didn’t leave a marriage, and when adultery and divorce were huge social stigmas.
