The Slow Road North
Rosie Schaap
Rosie Schaap had a solid career as a journalist and a life that looked to others like nonstop fun - all drinking and dining and travelling to beautiful places - and getting paid to write about it. But under the surface she was reeling from the loss of her husband and her mother - who died just one year apart. Caring for them had claimed much of her daily life in her late thirties. Mourning them would take longer. It wasn't until a reporting trip took her to the Northern Irish countryside that Rosie found a partner to heal with - Glenarm, a quiet, seaside village in County Antrim. That first visit made such an impression she returned to make a life. Weaving personal narrative and social history, 'The Slow Road North' is a moving and wise look at how a community can offer the key to healing.
