David Corstorphine is a man in despair. His young wife has died tragically from cancer and he is devastated. Searching for relief from his memories, he gives up working in the family business and takes it upon himself to restore the rose garden of his ancestral home. His children and his parents can only stand back and let him come to terms with the loss, which they too share. By using the driving physical toil of gardening he is able to lose himself. The family-owned whisky distillery becomes the catalyst that moves him from his secure routine back into the real world, and a business meeting in the USA shocks him into making some decisions about the rest of his life. His rehabilitation begins when he gets a job as a handyman/gardener to a single mother, Jennifer.

About the Author:
Born in Dundee in 1950, Robin Pilcher is married with four children. He has been an assistant film cameraman, PR consultant and a farmer. This is his first novel.
From AudioFile:
Samantha Eggar skillfully meets the challenges presented by rich characterizations and a well-written story of a young Scotsman who assuages his grief at the loss of his wife by working as a handyman on a U.S. estate. Eggar brings to life a full cast of Scottish and American characters as diverse as the housekeeper, Effie, and a team of time-starved Madison Avenue executives. Eggar's vocal characterizations, range of Highland accents, and dialect portray each nuance of the characters' personalities with compassion and subtlety. Her lively and spontaneous plot narration complements the characterizations to create engaging audio theater. R.M. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
