***********************************************************
ONE FAMILY, ONE PLACE AND THE WOMAN WHO HELD THEM TOGETHER...

Madge was four years old when she first saw the Cornish sea and fell in love with it, and it was there that her family grew and suffered and loved.

It was there she and her mother went to recover from a heartrending family tragedy; there she was forced reluctantly into marriage; there she fell into a wild and passionate wartime love.

And it was there she saw her children grow and love and cope with the secret legacies the years had left them, until finally they became more than just summer visitors.
