Synopsis

The Owens are tied to this Pembrokeshire land - no-one will part them from it dead or alive.

Leah is tied to home and hearth by debts of love and duty - duty to her father, turned religious zealot after the tragic death of his eldest son, Tom; love for her wastrel younger brother Frank's two motherless children. One of them will escape, the other will be doomed to follow in their grandfather's footsteps.

At the close of the 19th century, Cwmderwen's twenty-four acres, one rood and eight perches are hard won, the holding run down over the years by debt and poor harvest. But they are all the Owens have and their rent is always paid on time. With Tom's death a crack is opened up and into this chink in the fabric of the family step Jacob John and his wayward son Eli, always on the lookout for an opportunity.
