Gill Lewis returns with a profoundly moving and insightful novel about teenage mental health and the redemptive power of nature.

Dylan is struggling. Since he started high school, everything has become too much to handle. Now he's been expelled and is forced to move to the tiny village in Wales where his grandad lives. But when Grandad invites Dylan out on his boat to watch the Hooper swans return to their winter feeding ground, things begin to change. Grandad doesn't judge or question; he just lets Dylan be.

Out on the water, with no distractions or pressure, Dylan begins to feel like himself again. But when the swans and their home are threatened, and tragedy strikes at home, can Dylan keep going when it feels like everything is slipping out of control again?
