1644 and the Royalist Cavaliers - the king's men - have arrived in Ruth's community. They are hunting Roundheads - Oliver Cromwell's soldiers - and their sympathisers. Ruth's father is away with Cromwell's army and her family are Roundhead sympathisers. Her brothers - aged 12 and 14 - might be thought old enough to fight. The Royalists are capturing and killing young men. When they turn up at the farm can Ruth overcome her fears and save her brothers?
Social issues are her main concern which is why she writes historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of parsons and farmers, wives and daughters, merchants and tradesmen showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today.
