Henry Evans, a 19-year-old coal miner working at the Hunter Valley Rothbury Colliery marries a local girl, 18-year-old Wynnie Spencer in September 1928 and takes a loan to purchase a small miner's cottage located in the village of Rothbury only one block from Wynnie's parents and directly across the road from the Rothbury colliery gates.
On the 14th of February 1929, the Northern New South Wales coal mines are given 14 days' notice to accept new working conditions by the colliery owners.
The Mineworker's Federation rejects the colliery owner's ultimatum, which culminates in the colliery gates being shut and the miners thrown out of work.
The events that follow throw Henry and Wynnie's lives into turmoil, coming to a head when, on the 16th of December 1929, an incident takes place that is described as the worst industrial event in Australian history.
The consequences have catastrophic ramifications for Henry, Wynnie and their extended family members.

About the Author
Geoffrey Stokes hails from Cessnock, New South Wales. As a young man, he was well known for his active participation in various sporting pursuits. Following school, he took a position with Coal & Allied Industries Ltd. formerly J. & A. Brown, a large coal mining company, in their newly established central computer office. The job involved the development and utilisation of a specialised computer system to run and maintain functions previously done by hand.
Following the death of his son, he resigned to follow his strong desire to learn to fly aeroplanes. He later left the Hunter Valley. During this period, he worked in various marketing and management positions. Discontentment eventually drove him to enrol in full-time university study, which culminated in his attainment of the awards: BCom, BCom (Hons), GradDipLegStuds, and Juris Doctor (JD).
The university experience reignited his passion for storytelling, which developed at a very young age, and took him back to Cessnock to set him on his path as an author.
He currently lives and writes in the much cooler climate of Young on the Southwest Slopes of New South Wales.
