The Ragged Kingdom

About the Book

Rachel, recently widowed and living in a remote farmhouse on Offa’s Dyke in Wales, seeks to find a place on a map. She is curious as to why it is called the Ragged Kingdom. But she is also seeking to be healed from a long-ago barely-remembered experience that partly eludes her because of the threat of mental breakdown. The incomers that she meets, like herself, also seem to have a somewhat irregular background that they find hard to come to terms with. Is this why they are all living in wild, lonely places, seeking anonymity? Unexpectedly, Rachel is quite literally forced to come face-to-face with all the emotions of loss, hate, and bitterness that she had long ago buried. Will she find forgiveness, healing, and love in the one person who matters?
