Her father's final wish leads her to Hartswick. One wrong turn may prevent her from ever leaving.
After her father's death, Rachel Wainright discovers a letter describing the day that changed his life.
At nineteen, lost and struggling on the Cumbrian fells, David was found beside an old sheepfold by a stranger named Arthur Braithwaite. Arthur shared his tea, listened without judgement and walked him safely back to Hartswick. Decades later, David's last request is simple: find the sheepfold and leave part of him there.
Rachel expects the journey to take one night.
But the landscape has changed, the weather is closing in and the sheepfold she finds is the wrong one. When a fall leaves her injured above a rising beck, with daylight disappearing and her phone signal failing, one final emergency call is all that connects her to the village below.
Now Hartswick Mountain Rescue must piece together an old photograph, a fading memory and the fragments of Rachel's interrupted call before the fell takes the decision out of their hands.
And Rachel is about to discover that her father's journey to Hartswick left behind more than she ever knew.
A moving, atmospheric novella about grief, unexpected kindness and the people who carry us home when we can no longer find the way alone.
Every light in the valley belongs to someone waiting.
