What happens when you take time to hear the raccoons?
In the middle of her fifties, with little planning, Noel moves by herself to an island off the coast of Washington State. In short order, she finds out more than she had bargained for about pesky raccoons, wacky plumbing, foot infections, capricious weather, the effects of loneliness...and about herself.
A whimsical, yet direct storyteller, Noel recounts her adventures, coming to terms with her situation employing her wits, courage, and a zany sense of humor.
