Following a diagnosis of breast cancer and a protracted recovery, Kathleen Hart purchases and relocates to a whitewashed cottage in Wigtown, Scotland. She names it Devorgilla, after the formidable 13th century Scottish princess. Kathleen takes up wild swimming and cottage renovation, all while incorporating herself into the community of book lovers, beekeepers, artists, writers, and lobster fishermen. This community, as well as her Instagram community (as PoshPedlar), helps Kathleen start over and find meaning in her surroundings.
