Thirty years of marriage - ten spent as his carer - shaped her world and slowly shrank it ot the boundaries of his illness. In trying to protect her children, Luke and Katy, and her friends, Kelly and Jenny, Lee pushed them away. Now, wandering locked rooms and empty halls, she realises the fortress she built for safety has become a prison. Should she stay in the mansion she’s inherited, or finally travel as she always dreamed? Why is someone old always napping on her favourite couch?
