When Jades partner leaves the barn that they moved into just weeks before he leaves a dent in the wall and her life unravelled Numbed from years in the destructive relationship she faces an uncertain future and complete solitude Slowly with the help of Devons salted cliffs and damp forested footpaths Jade comes back to life and discovers the power of being alone

Through conversations with other hermits across the world Fitton sheds light on an extraordinary and misunderstood way of living which has survived into the 21st century from monks to hikikomori and the often ignored female hermit

Lyrically written this is an inspirational story of recovery of finding home and of celebration of solitude in the natural world
