Blurb/Synopsis:
Everyone is entitled to making their own choices in life,
but a decision can make or break you. For Jacinta Kelly, hers came in the form
of running away from everything that reminded her of her roots.
Living in rural Ireland was hard enough, but living with her
mother’s mental illness and her obsession with her garden took its toll. One
winter, the world as she knows it changes. Jacinta becomes aware of her own
mortality, and how fragile her existence truly is.
Alone and frightened; to live or die, the choice is hers.

Excerpt
The salty water coursed down her throat as she went under
for the third time. Flailing her arms, she struggled to the surface, gasping
for breath, trying to find something to grab a hold of.
It was pointless. The relentless current tugged at her legs,
pulling her under. Wave after wave crashed down on her head, making her tread
harder. Her heart resounded in her head. When she finally grew tired, her legs
felt heavy and numb.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
This was it. That singular fleeting moment in her life when
she felt at peace.
She felt nothing else. No pain. No anger. No grief. Just
harmony.
An ethereal silence and warmth wrapped itself around her, a
sensation like nothing she had experienced before. A weightless feeling, void
of the burdens that had weighed her down, surrounded her.
It felt both heavenly and majestic. As if the sun’s rays
radiated down on her, easing the chill of the night, setting her free from the
hurt, the sorrow, and the taste of the sea.
It was then that everything became silently still.
