Description:An emotional, heartfelt novel about the power of kindness and never giving up. In the scenic seaside town of Knockfarraig in Cork, five final year students gather in a dingy classroom for a detention. Ignoring the hostility, teacher Alayne Adams has her own problems to deal with and sees the time as a chance to reflect on what to do with her tumultuous home life. But after discovering a note, Alayne is left with a dilemma. The note states the writer intends to end their life. Looking around, they all seem to have issues. Ash, a new student at Knockfarraig, was expelled from his last school for a violent act. Samira tries but fails to hide behind her hair. Calista, with black circles under her eyes, looks exhausted. Rian’s caustic words goad, but she tugs at her clothes constantly. Calum jumps every time someone speaks and looks like he’ll either burst into tears or run for the door. The writer could be any of them. As The Kybalion states, “When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with Wisdom.” Taking inspiration from the book, Alayne embarks on a series of life lessons that encourages each of them, including her, to discover ways to heal. Can she prove life is worth living before it’s too late?
