内容简介：
In 1905, Lilian Rutherford agrees to marry mining office clerk, Bill Robinson, when she becomes pregnant by Johnny Peacock, the mine owner's son. Though aware of his wife's true feelings, Bill never doubts that he is Edward's father. A twist of fate brings prosperity, and a partnership with the Peacocks and their associates, the Fairburns, but when Edward's paternity is unexpectedly revealed, their marriage deteriorates into an empty sham. The four families remain entwined, but it takes the dark shadow of World War I to finally bring true reconciliation to Lilian and Bill.
