A Measure of Time - Gillian Jackson

When Helen Reid is diagnosed with terminal cancer, time suddenly becomes a precious commodity, a gift not to be wasted. As she attempts to make the most of her few remaining months, Helen plans to travel to Canada, and enjoy time with family and friends.
But the past is drawing her back to the very worst period in her life, to an incident which even now, years later, brings shame and regret. Is it possible to make restitution for that awful event which has haunted her over the years?
Revisiting her home town brings Helen into contact with people she would rather not meet again, but determination spurs her on to do what should have been done forty years ago, something which will hopefully bring the peace which Helen so desperately needs.
