Jericho Farm, high in the Pennines, had been in the Hemingway family for generations. Although life on the farm was hard, the place had  a rugged compulsion for those who lived and worked there. But now James Hemingway was thinking of breaking with tradition and selling up. With his wife tragically dead, David, his son, making a separate career as an artist and his daughter, Ellen, a strange, withdrawn and troubled girl, there seemed little point in staying on at Jericho.

Then David, the beloved and only son, was struck by a fatal illness and with Lisa, the girl he wanted to marry, came back to Jericho, to the house and land that he loved. As the new family coped with fresh tragedy and began to try and weld together once more, so an entirely unexpected and unconventional relationship exploded into their lives, one that offered hope to James, to Lisa and to Jericho Farm.
