About this listen

As Moire charts the first harrowing year after Pete’s death - the shock, the loneliness and the difficulties of single parenting two young children - she also experiences glimpses of hope and acceptance as she trains to become a mountain leader. The people she meets through the mountains, as well as the peace and wild beauty of the Mournes, help Moire discover her inner strength and prove she is not alone in her struggles.

A year on from Pete’s death, Moire takes on a circuit of the Mournes: a winter run that reflects the dark struggles her husband went through, but which also shows the power of nature, and the healing support of community.

May sound from the blurb like a tough listen given the subject matter but in actual fact, the honesty and journey are inspirational.

So glad I read this and now I want to head out to the Mourne Mountains.

Honest, open, sad, uplifting - all these things and more. I recommend the book to anyone struggling with grief, or anyone who knows someone who is struggling with grief.
It's also a great example of the healing power of nature - in the case, with mountain running and hiking - and how focusing on doing what you are passionate about the most can bring you through the very darkest of times.

Very Good
