Short stories from the edge of the world, amid wild landscapes of the Shetland Isles. In the title story, a small girl makes a bargain with God when she tells a white lie. In other stories, a teenage girl with lofty dreams comes down to earth with a bump; an old man tends his ailing wife and remembers the day they met; a woman desperately tries to keep her family together as her husband struggles stay sober. Most of these stories have previously been published in anthologies, and this short story collection brings them together for the first time. The author is a previous prizewinner in the She (UK) magazine short story contest.
