'Dark clouds were looming in the distance. We watched them gather, and we wondered... When will it come? How long will it last?'

A monumental storm brings huge and sudden change. We follow a man and his dog through the uncertainty that it brings to their lives. Through their eyes, we see the difficulties of being apart, the rollercoaster of emotions that we can all relate to, and the realisation that by pulling together, we can move through difficult times with new perspective, hope, and an appreciation of what matters most in life.

Luke has dedicated the book to his late grandfather, who was a key figure in his life. The main characters are based on his grandfather and his own dog, Robin, who offers a reassuring guide through the challenges of the storm. It's a story with very personal emotion, but one that speaks to us all.

'Though clouds may gather again, and we may see other storms, we have realised most of all that we are stronger facing them... Together.'

Luke Adam Hawker is a globally acclaimed artist celebrated for his compelling work, which is displayed in several prestigious collections including the Parliamentary Art Collection.

An advocate for empathy, Luke harnesses its transformative power in his art, fostering deep connections with his audience through his openness and vulnerability.
