A heroic poem woven around the tides and spires of North Norfolk.
Jess Streeting tells her own story of returning as an adult to Cawston in Norfolk and remembering fun-filled childhood days with her father, an inspirational vicar, in the mid-70s. One single terrible event ripped her father away from her, and only now is she confronting what happened. There are shy girls, smart lads, and a great hammer beam church roof with carved angels.
The foreword is by one of those smart boys, Sir Stephen Fry.
