This is the third novel from the bestselling author of "To School Through the Fields". This sequel to "The Woman of the House" and "Across the River" is a story of love for the home place and of the passions and jealousies it can inspire. Following his brutish father's unlamented death, young Danny Conway strives to rescue the family farm from ruin. When all seems hopeless, help comes from the most unexpected quarter. A story of resilience in the face of family tragedy; a story, too, of bereavement and grief, and of trying to cope with loss. No one knows the warp and weft of country life as Alice Taylor does, and in her third novel she again displays her unique ability to capture its rhythms and cadences.
