For years, Charlie MacFell and his family have submitted to the taunting abuse of his dictatorial father and the brutal punishment of the Cinder Path--until, in one shocking instant, life is changed irreversibly. Crushed by years of mistreatment, Charlie is woefully ill-equipped to face responsibility. Pressured into a loveless marriage of convience with the haughty Victoria (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and plunged into the horrors of war on the front lines, he struggles to discover the depths of his own strength of character and becomes the man he was meant to be. A powerful moving saga of heartbreak, blackmail, cruelty, revenge, deception, courage and ultimately true love, "The Cinder Path" brings one of Catherine Cookson's most poignant and beautiful novels to glorious life.
