Heather Finch

At forty-two, Heather Finch has cared for and buried her husband after strokes and brain injury; now she embarks on a writing retreat in a cottage in the Scottish Highlands. When Heather believes her small writer's cottage is haunted, she must face her past and present fears - real or imagined - that populate her mind. Chapters are set three years before juxtaposed with ones set in present day. The " Remember" chapters recount her husband Marc's stroke, the three years of caretaking she shares with her teenage children, and the end-of-life decisions leading to Marc's death.
