Bestselling author of Finding Hildasay

'The book will leave you yearning to visit Skye, and inspired by the author’s refusal to allow ‘Parky’ to boss him about. Ill health and death come for us all, Waters observes with admirable zen, but if we can accept that we are in a constant state of flux, ‘our days will be happier and freer’.'
