About the book
Alys Fowler sets out on a journey along Birmingham's canals and secret waterways, discovering an unexpected world of beauty and resilience hidden in plain sight. Part memoir, part nature writing, this is an honest exploration of heartbreak, identity, and the healing power of the natural world. Fowler's keen eye reveals otters, kingfishers, and rare orchids thriving in the most unlikely corners of the city, whilst her candid reflections on personal transformation resonate with anyone who has needed to find themselves again. A tender, uplifting meditation on how nature endures—and how it helps us endure—even in the most challenging times.
