Together on the wild coastal path, with their feet firmly rooted outdoors, they discover that anything is possible.

The Wild Silence is a story of hope triumphing over despair, of lifelong love prevailing over everything. It is a luminous account of the human spirit’s instinctive connection to nature, and how vital it is for us all.
