Excerpt from The Rest House
Peggy Metcalfe stood shivering in the road her teeth were chattering, and her hands and feet were becoming every moment more and more numb. She watched with mechanical attention the prostrate form of her brother Peter, who was doing things to the car, here in this lonely and rather wild part of North Somersetshire.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book describes the journey of two siblings, Peter and Peggy Metcalfe, who travel to Mildon during snowy weather and end up seeking refuge at a solitary house. They are welcomed by a kind young woman named Miss Mary and her family, who provide them with food, shelter, and warmth. As the weather worsens and their stay is prolonged, Peggy finds herself drawn to the Catholic faith practiced by her hosts. She attends a Benediction service and experiences a profound sense of peace and belonging. Over the course of several days, she engages in conversations with Frederick Morford, Miss Mary's brother, who patiently explains the tenets of Catholicism to her. Peggy's initial curiosity evolves into a deep yearning to understand and embrace this new faith. Through Peggy's journey, the book explores themes of spiritual awakening, the search for meaning, and the power of human connection. It offers a thought-provoking examination of the transformative nature of faith and its ability to guide individuals towards profound self-discovery.
