Three strangers. One question: who are we without the people we love? Winter People was published by Legend Press on 12th October 2022. Summary Sis Cotter has lived her whole life in a small house by her beloved beach. Here, she grew up, reared her family, and buried her husband. Now her children are far away and, in three days, her house will be taken from her. Next door, Lydia has withdrawn from her husband, her friends, her life. She watches the sea as her own private penance for a wrong she can never put right. Peter’s best friend is dying, and his long-time foster mother is slowly forgetting who he is. Adrift without his two anchors, and struggling with the ethics of displacing people for a living, he looks for something to remind him of who he is and who he wants to be. Winter People is a story of forgiveness, resilience, and the power of the sea to unlock what we are most afraid to say. https://www.grainnemurphy.ie/writing/wtei monthly 0.5 2021-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff36a8950339566e9be28c6/1610396881907-N2OTFRDKNML6U6RSKM2S/Front+cover+WTEI.JPG Writing - Where the Edge Is https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff36a8950339566e9be28c6/1611091997194-MUK59USE48BDNO2ABIN3/Legend+Press+2020+Logo+II+CMYK.png Writing - Where the Edge Is https://www.grainnemurphy.ie/writing/about-me monthly 0.5 2024-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff36a8950339566e9be28c6/1610292735739-LK3AFY3TZW75IELOWLN5/Grainne+Bio.jpg Writing - About Gráinne - About Gráinne Gráinne grew up in Kilmichael, in rural county Cork.
