THE FAMILY'S FATE RESTS ON HER SHOULDERS...
Sweyn's Eye, South Wales: The Richardsons are copper barons - lords of the town's copper smelting industry - rich, powerful, and somewhat in denial that their wealth may be in jeopardy as the demand for copper wanes.
The Llewelyns are a poor family, the threat of unemployment and all its attendant miseries always present. They are too poor to afford more than a pauper's funeral when Mrs Llewelyn dies and too proud to allow the neighbours to know.
When the fiery and determined Mali Llewelyn is offered a job in the local laundry she takes it, determined to fight her way to prosperity as a businesswoman. Yet all of her struggles are not obvious, for in secret she battles with her hopeless love for Sterling Richardson, heir to the copper kingdom of Sweyn's Eye.
Can she find a way through? For on her shoulders rest the burden of the family fortunes...
