Raynor Winn knows that her husband Moth's health is declining, getting worse by the day. She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he—can he?—set out with her on another healing walk?
The Cape Wrath Trail is hundreds of miles of grueling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs. But the lure of the wilderness and the beguiling beauty of the awaiting glens draw them northwards. Being one with nature saved them in their darkest hour years earlier—and their hope is that this experience can work its magic again.
So Raynor and Moth embark on an incredible thousand-mile journey: from Scotland to the familiar shores of the South West Coast Path, from Northumberland to the Yorkshire moors, and from Wales to home again. As they map with each step the landscape of their island nation, they find themselves facing existential questions—about themselves and about their country—during this epic, inspiring odyssey.

Winn inspired many readers and hikers with her first two memoirs, The Salt Path (2019) and The Wild Silence (2021). Now installed on a little Cornish farm with husband Moth's health in steep decline, Winn worries that Moth is approaching his final days. To buy them more time, she prods Moth back ""onto the path,"" but he fears that his finally diagnosed disease is too far gone. He complains and resists, she feels guilty, but they persist, starting their trek in northwest Scotland. While neither destitute nor without a home (as they were in The Salt Path), they now face the insurmountable-seeming difficulties of Moth's health. As they trudge on, nearly imperceptibly, Moth gains strength and confidence; his mood lightens and symptoms mitigate. Encouraged, he urges them to walk far beyond the intended end of their trip, pressing ever onward. This is a story of grit and persistence, but most importantly, a tale of putting oneself ""in the way of hope."" Readers familiar with the couple's previous adventures especially will love this third installment.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
