A family saga of love and loss, war and turmoil.

A world at war and the ancient land of Ireland makes a thrust for independence from the fading British Empire.

Bridie struggles to find her place and break the boundaries of her class and gender.

Danny is also searching and together they attempt to forge their own path.

Can Ellen put aside the shock of witnessing her brothers take the life of a neighbour, in order to help Sarah who has been violated.

The unity of the farm and the three brothers, Liam, Seamus and Ciaran is further fractured when the ebony cross, a symbol of freedom and conflict, is removed.

This is the story of the McShane family, and the bitterness that developed as Ireland struggled for nationhood.
