Behind the conventional background of the Welsh border village of Abercerig lies a colourful tapestry of intrigue and discovery. Misfortune comes in many guises, and the inhabitants of the close community struggle to come to terms with freak accidents, suspicious death and the absolute drama of human relationships. And through it all, the Webb family is the thread that holds the neighbourhood together: dependable Tom, well-respected Grace, and their daughters, Beth and Sian-the one clever and well behaved, the other fiery and high-spirited with an understanding of human nature that goes well beyond her years. But these people are strong, and life must go on. Together, they pick up the pieces, reorganize their lives, and celebrate all that is good. And an unexpected decision will change the lives of one family forever.
