A woman steers her own destiny in a deeply emotional tale set in South Wales at the beginning of the century from the author of A Royal Ambition.
From the ashes of the war, can love blossom?
Rhian Grey left her home in Sweyn's Eye to make a life for herself in Yorkshire, where she learned the skills of spinning and weaving. She also learned to love Mansel Jack, a charismatic and ambitious mill-owner.
When Rhian returns to Sweyn's Eye, it is to a town torn apart by anxiety and uncertainty, by the devastation of the Great War, a town whose worker's lives are governed by fear.
Amidst the anguish and dedication of the women who were left behind, Rhian must decide where her own future lies-in respectable marriage to Heath Jenkins, her former sweetheart-or in the arms of Mansel Jack.
