          ***

          ''In the January dark, a young man walks slowly into the sea. He can''t see where he is going, but he knows the island is calling...''

          Mary and Patrick''s dream was to live in London, have 2.4 children, the nice house, the successful jobs. But life had other plans, and in one traumatic year that all came crashing down.

          Bruised and battered, Mary finds herself pulled towards Cornwall and dreams of St George''s Island, where she spent halcyon childhood summers. So, when an opportunity arises to become tenants if they renovate the old Island House, they grab it with both hands.

          Life on the island is hard, especially in winter, the sea and weather, unforgiving. But the rugged natural beauty, the friendly ghosts of previous inhabitants, and the beautiful isolation of island life bring hope and purpose, as they discover a resilience they never knew they had.
