Book excerpt: Katie Mulholland began life as the daughter of a miner. In 1860, at the age of 15, she goes into service as a scullery maid for the Rosier family, who are members of the local gentry and owners of the mine for which her father works. She catches the eye of Bernard Rosier, the heir to the Rosier Mining Company, an accomplished seducer who uses force with Katie when charm fails. Deflowered but not defeated, Katie vows to challenge the Rosiers on their own terms. Pregnant with Bernard's child, Katie is dismissed, and forced into a loveless marriage with William Bunting, the manager of the Rosier mines. Katie gives birth to her daughter, Sarah; but Bunting's cruetly increases. After his death, Katie leaves for greener pastures and begins what is to be a long and hard odyssey to found her own financial empire and dynasty.
