Where Roads Open

A young woman carries the unmistakable genes of a father long believed dead. While her mother and sister stick to tradition and struggle to keep the boatyard in Cornwall afloat, she sets out, first to the Continent and later to Africa. On the shores of Lake Victoria, her past and the history of those she loves catch up with her. There she also finds the courage to stand by her chosen companion and to follow her own path.

Set between 2013 and 2018, this is an unforgettable story of family and adventure, of love and self-discovery, of inherited traits and courageous choices that shape a life.
