<p>''Moving and inspiring, courageous and true: real art. Just reading her is pleasure'' <b>Amy Liptrot, author of <i>The Outrun</i></b><br><br>Just days into motherhood, a woman begins dying. Fast and without warning.<br><br>On return from near-death, Tanya Shadrick vows to stop sleepwalking through life. To take more risks, like the characters in the fairy tales she loved as a small girl, before loss and fear had her retreat into routine and daydreams.<br><br>Around the care of young children, she starts to play with the shape and scale of her days: to stray from the path, get lost in the woods, make bargains with strangers. <br><br> As she moves beyond her respectable roles as worker, wife and mother in a small town, Tanya learns what it takes - and costs - to break the spell of longing for love, approval, safety, rescue.</p>
