The memoir of writer and editor Sam Adams. It's the story of the place where he was raised, Gilfach Goch, Glamorgan, in the early and middle years of the twentieth century; it's the story of his family yet, in many ways, it's also a story which will ring true with families throughout the south Wales coalfield.
