Publisher's Synopsis
Edward Maichin is the golden boy of the Welsh chapels, with his eloquent sermons and blond good looks. But at home he brutally dominates his mother, Rose Clare and his brothers, Rhys and Caspar. Only their sister, Theo, a gifted writer haunted by her still-born twin, is brave enough to defy Edward's hypocrisy. But then scandal forces the Maichins to flee the valley with unseemly haste, and on the wild moors of Durham, Theo becomes companion to an old lady and her son. Here is a family even more vulnerable and fractured than her own. Is she prepared to pay the price of healing them - and herself?
