Produktbeschreibung

Escape is the story of Eileen, the grieving mother of a daughter who was born with a heart defect. Now, separated from her husband, she is whisked away to vacation on a remote Nova Scotia island with her closest friends. When Eileen and her faithful dog, Ellie, arrive at Brier Island, she is completely consumed with grief. Her thoughts are focused only on the loss of her daughter. As Eileen and Ellie explore the island, she meets the often eccentric yet very accepting locals. The islanders welcome her with open arms showing her a different way of life than she has ever known. East Coast kitchen parties and the strong sense of community help Eileen through some of the hardest times of her life, while a slower pace lifestyle and time outdoors have a meditative effect. Eileen begins to accept a new version of herself; scars and all. The experience teaches Eileen how to value and care for herself once again, while a brooding fisherman and an understanding bartender show her that she is still worthy of love. She relishes moments of happiness for the first time since her devastating loss and with time is even able to see a future for herself again. Here, in this magical place, Eileen might just have another chance to find joy.

Autorenporträt

Caroline Robertson holds a Master of Planning Studies from Dalhousie University and is a lead planner and co-founder of C+D Community Design. Caroline's daughter, Millie, recently passed away at 16 months of age. Mille was born with two congenital heart defects, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and Pulmonary Vein Stenosis. Millie and her parents spent many months away from their home, living in Toronto, while she received treatment at Sick Kids Hospital. Caroline started a YouTube channel called Millie's Perfect Heart to provide updates on her daughter's health journey as well as offer educational videos about living with a child who has a congenital heart defect. During Millie's short time on Earth, she made a huge impact on her community and the world of pediatric cardiology. Caroline is currently taking some time off to mourn the loss of her beautiful child and has found some peace in writing. This is her first novel and is loosely based on her experiences.
