- Synopsis
- This novel, the first of a trilogy, is the magnificent saga of a family determined to survive. Blacklaw Colliery lay a half mile north of the small village of Blacklaw. A mile off, protected by a wealth of handsome oaks, Houston Lamont lived in a style befitting the mine owner. However nothing could protect him from the outcome of the massive explosion which wiped out a shift of 118 men. The pit disaster killed the Stalker menfolk but not their ambition. Alex Stalker's ambition of a better life for his only surviving son Drew fell on Kate: but it was to Mirrin, soft-shaped but as vital and stubborn as her father, to whom Kate turned for aid. Look for the other books in this trilogy about Scottish life in the late nineteenth century in the Bookshare collection. They are: #2 The Hiring Fair and #3 The Dark Pasture.
