Don't Worry the Sheep

A belated honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands was meant to be a way of saying goodbye. After the death of her husband, Liddie travels to Scotland to complete the hiking journey they had planned together-but she cannot bring herself to do it alone. So she brings a friend to take his place beside her on the trail. At first, it helps. The misty mountains, rain-soaked paths, and ancient landscapes are easier to face with someone there to steady her. But grief has a way of reshaping everything it touches. Small, unexplainable moments begin to appear along the journey-too strange to ignore, too subtle to prove. And as the days pass in the Highlands, Liddie starts to realize that what she is experiencing cannot be contained by companionship, logic, or comfort. As the journey pushes her past what she believes she can endure, Liddie is drawn into a moment in the most remote reaches of the Scottish Highlands that no one else will ever witness-and cannot be explained or escaped. What happens there forces her to reconsider everything she thought she knew about love, loss, and reality itself. Don't Worry the Sheep is a novel set in the Scottish Highlands about grief, dependence, and the strange ways the mind reshapes the world when it cannot let go.
