Publisher's Synopsis
Dartmoor, 1875: Rose Maddiford could have any husband she chooses, but she is devoted to only one man, her father, the manager of the gunpowder mills at Cherrybrook. When tragedy strikes, it seems that despite Rose's determined efforts, there is only one way to hold the family together, but it requires the greatest sacrifice from Rose. Like a lamb to the slaughter, she finds herself trapped in an impossible situation. Solace comes from the most unlikely source, but what future can there be for two lost souls whose lives have been shattered by the cruel hand of fate?
