Everyone needs a safe place…

Haunted by a past trauma, Cathy yearns for sanctuary away from city life. She finds it with her boyfriend Alfie, at Blacksheep Farm, a haven in the Peaks of Derbyshire.

But their peace is blighted by Bertha, the cold-hearted matriarch of Alfie’s family, who is hell-bent on keeping control of the farm—and her children.

When a collection of hidden portraits is found by Alfie, Cathy is drawn to their mysterious beauty and embarks on a quest to return them to their owner. But her journey threatens to unearth long-buried secrets and tear her new life apart.

As she delves deeper, Cathy confronts the manipulative hold of Bertha, as well as a secret linked to Bertha's past…

Will Cathy’s pursuit of the truth expose them all to the very darkness she is seeking to escape? Or could it bring hope and rewrite the story for everyone at Blacksheep Farm?

Sanctuary is a tale of bravery, trauma, love and loyalty… and how the past can have an enduring hold on the present.
