WORK IN PROGRESS:
Cora Parker is in crisis. Battling anxiety, depression, and the all-consuming demands of teaching, she finds herself on the brink of life-changing decisions that must be made for the sake of her health. During time out travelling the country, Cora is led, it seems by fate, to a beautiful and isolated island in the Marlborough Sounds. Here she meets an elderly gentleman, Frank, and his surly nephew Atlas. But Atlas is suffering too. The effects of work stress, compounded by alcohol and circumstance have brought him home to recover under his uncle's guidance. Cora and Atlas, at first at odds, find ways to help each other through their recovery until an accident throws more chaos into their lives.
