Publisher's Summary

A collection of stories set during the pandemic, exploring the impact on health workers and their families.

"As Good as a Rest": Dave, a 50-year-old roofer, has a change of steer and re-trains as a carer. Despite the frantic pace, he loves his new job and has never looked back. There's just one problem - he can't be on hand for his mum, who is growing increasingly frail...

"All Through the Night": Sian, a mental health nurse, has always been a rock for twin sister Rhiannon. But things have changed since the pandemic, and Sian's workload has doubled. Awaking one morning to find she missed a 3am call from Rhi, Sian is thrown into a panic - but will things be as bad as she expects?

"Afraid Not": A and E ward clerk Cheryl is feeling burned out at work, and husband Karl's idle ways aren't helping. As resentment builds and she starts snapping at 12-year-old son Luca, she knows it can't go on like this; but she also knows she can't force Karl to change...

"Little Hell": In the title story, the stressed wife of a sick paramedic is trapped in a very odd dream.
