Orphaned & alone, 13-year-old Blackie O’ Neill must leave County Kerry to find work & put food in his mouth. His only chance of survival lies with his mother’s brother, far away in Leeds.

Working in his Uncle’s business, he nurtures a dream of throwing off the impotence of poverty, of building houses & perhaps even of becoming a gentleman.

& then, high on the Yorkshire moors, in the mists of a winter morning, he meets a kitchen maid called Emma Harte. & as the Victorian world gives way to the freedom of the Edwardian age, so a young man & a servant girl seize a chance, against the odds, to build a better life…
