Rose Pritchard has fled her abusive husband with little more than the clothes on her back - and her slightly eccentric, but exceedingly smart, seven-year-old daughter.

In search of a better life, they journey to a tiny but picturesque Cumbrian village.

The beauty of the surrounding countryside gives Rose a renewed sense of hope and she soon seizes the chance to reconnect with figures from the past.

Drawing on her newfound strength, Rose comes to understand that it's not what you leave behind that defines you. But what you're running toward.
