Summary

A powerfully life-affirming story of the wonder of nature, the ties of family and the healing power of love from best-selling novelist and national treasure Alan Titchmarsh.

An ordinary life. An extraordinary choice.

Adam Gabriel has always been a child of nature. Raised on his parents' remote Yorkshire farm, where life is measured by the rhythms of the flock, the turn of the seasons and the yearly arrival of an itinerant local monk, he seems destined for a quietly contented life. 

As Adam grows, Luke and Bethany see flickers of something extraordinary in their son - a healing touch that goes beyond his love for the land. But Adam's gentleness has always made him an outsider, and a powerful gift can also be a heavy burden....

When tragedy turns the Gabriels' life upside down, Adam faces a stark choice. Can he keep faith in his talents, even if it means risking the suspicion of others? Should he listen to the lure of new horizons, or does happiness lie closer to home? And when he needs it most, can he find the strength to save the people he loves?

Great book

Wish he had stuck with what he’s good at. Why stoop to doing prepaid funerals commercials, did he really need the money that bad. Obviously not as this book is very good .So disappointed in Alan. Good listen.

An unusual story line

The story flowed nicely and though it was sad in places the ending was, for me, predictable. Beautifully narrated by the author. I always enjoy his books and this was no exception.
