Rachel, recently widowed and living in a remote farmhouse on Offas Dyke in Wales, seeks to find a place on a map. She is curious as to why it is called the Ragged Kingdom. But she is also seeking to be healed from a long-ago barely-remembered experience that partly eludes her because of the threat of mental breakdown.

Unexpectedly, Rachel is quite literally forced to come face-to-face with all the emotions of loss, hate, and bitterness that she had long ago buried. Will she find forgiveness, healing, and love in the one person who matters?
