A passionate novel of love, hope and the power of nature . . .
On the edge of the American wilderness eight-year-old Imogen, guided by a vision she does not understand, leads the rescue searchers to the drowned body of her brother while his best friend, Connla looks on.
Nearly thirty years later, in the Scottish highlands, the tragic mystery of her brother's death still haunts Imogen. Living alone, painting the heart-stopping beauty of the landscape around her, she fills the void at the centre of her life with precious glimpses of wild creatures.
Four thousand miles away, Connla also shuns the world of men, in a cabin in the wilderness, capturing its secrets on film. He sees newspaper reports of sightings of a rare animal which make him set off on a trail that will bring him and Imogen together at last. But only when the truth about the childhood tragedy is revealed can their wounded hearts begin to heal - not before another mysterious vision has called up the distant past and averted tragedy once more.
