To 21st century Dr. Evie Wortham, confirmed Londoner and obsessively driven surgeon; her hospital's ultimatum of thirty days leave in the calming wilderness of the Scottish Highlands so she can get a handle on her anger issues means one thing: unbearable boredom. But she agrees out of pity for her best friend who Human Resources nominated to pass out the punishment. That and the fact she did massively overstep her bounds this time-even by her standards. So, she heads to her friend's cottage on the outskirts of Inverness for a month of hiking, biking, and becoming one with nature. But a climb behind a waterfall to rescue a kitten with an odd fondness for water permanently strikes the word boredom from her vocabulary.
