"The men of the Foley family have always been proud and fearless, fashioned by the harsh, cold elements of their country, and by years of fighting tooth and nail for survival. Their story begins in Ireland, in the difficult years of the mid-nineteenth century. The family have lost their home and suffered another loss which proves even more vital - beautiful Emer Foley, wife of Francis, mother to Tomás, Finbar, Finan and the youngest boy, Teige. With nothing to hold them they move on, setting out across Ireland to its western shore, searching for the untenanted land that is to be their new Eden. But Francis Foley is a bitter man, and his flinty soul can only bring destruction. Inevitably the five Foleys are scatterd, each to his own road and his won future."--cover.
