Publisher's Synopsis
Based on a true story that is both heartbreaking and heroic. When work is in short supply Jeremiah, a Framework Knitter from Sutton in Ashfield, finds life a constant struggle to survive. Things take a darker turn when the work dries up altogether. The only option left, for him and his young family is the workhouse or starvation.
The story is based on the events that led to the Pentrich Rising. It shows the level of deceit, and who was involved in that deceit, that persuaded Jeremiah, and many like him there was no other course but one they may otherwise never have considered.
