One hundred essays on choosing uncertainty over security change over convenience seeing things for what they truly are and being surprised by yourself; on love loss death and donkeys; on reaching for your dreams finding enlightenment on a rural road peeing in public and locking yourself out of the house; on dangerous herbs friendly farmers flying Bentleys and existential cats; and on what it feels like to live in a small isolated island community through the autumn and winter to live as a writer who actually writes and to live as your true authentic self no matter who that turns out to be. And to write your own story the way you want it told; to find your voice and the courage to let it be heard.
