1880. On her father’s death, Kate Ferrar is expected to move from London to a mining village in County Durham, to live with an uncle she barely knows. Restricted by the confines of polite society and hungry for education and honest company, she breaks all social rules by taking a job in her uncle’s office.
There she meets Jon Armstrong, a pit lad, tough and enigmatic and not the sort of man Kate should be consorting with. He’s also engaged to local lass Lizzie, while Kate’s uncle is plotting a suitable marriage for her.
But a sudden and shocking pit disaster almost destroys everything. Both Kate and Lizzie must draw on all their courage to survive, but then a second disaster threatens to undo their lives completely…
