In Pontypridd and the Rhondda in 1905, coal is king and the families who sunk the first collieries are rich. None is wealthier or more generous a benefactor than Harry Watkin Jones. His daughter Sali is about to marry her childhood sweetheart, but tragedy follows tragedy, and four years later Sali is a penniless outcast, fleeing from a violent husband and struggling to support herself and her son in a difficult world. Sali finds work in the home of family of colliers, and here she and her son find the warmth and love missing from their lives for so long. But unrest and violence have come to the valleys. Caught up in the conflict, Sali finds herself denying her roots, her class, and even sacrificing her son's future, for the sake of the people she loves and the cause they are prepared to die for.

This was my first book of Catrin's. I wasn't sure what to think of the book when I picked it from the library but I'm glad I read it but it was SOOO good. poor Sali :( but I'm glad her and Harry went home at the end of the book back to Evans :D. The book really pulled me in. My favorite part of the book is when she started to work for the Evan's family. It was so awful what happened to Sali before with Owen and with Mansel :(. Owen was so curel and just not nice, I don't like him :-(. I was really surprised what happened to Mansel, that was so sad how he died like that. :( But I liked the end of he story, I'm glad Sali is there to say, even if Lloyd said she should go back! I felt so sad when she went back to Pontypridd. ;( "now he sensed that she was saying goodbye to him" ;(. "Lloyd felt as though he had just lost the woman he loved more than everyone else on earth" Two quotes I find sad to read, so heartbreaking.;( I really liked Sali and Lloyd. Lloyd is such a great guy! :-D I can't wait to read the other books of the series. =)
