Abraham is an inspiring Methodist preacher inspired by visions of a new Jerusalem. His brother, Adam works in the local clothing trade and just wants to be a good husband to powerful and enigmatic Gwyneth. However, when a way of life that had been settled for centuries begins to change, all are forced to make decisions that will affect their lives, and the communities they live in, forever. In this, the latest book by Lee Garratt, we see what happens when the valleys of Northern England came into conflict with the mighty forces unleashed by the industrial revolution. A tale of love and loss, solidarity and struggle. "an evocative and powerful... often lyrical, account of a changing world" Alan Brooke: co-author of 'Liberty or Death - Radicals, Republicans and Luddites in the Huddersfield Area'"Garratt's best, most ambitious, and certainly most daring work yet. Superb." Thomas Clark: Author, journalist and the translator of the recent Scots edition of 'Animal Farm'

The inside story of how accusations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party resulted in a Labour MP losing his seat. Containing explosive revelations of what really went on at the heart of the Labour Party during those turbulent years, this book considers what happens when false allegations turn into a political witch-hunt not too dissimilar to McCarthyism in the 1950s. Ably demonstrating that the facts were continually misreported by a media clique, and rarely challenged by supposed allies, Garratt's words and simple, yet meticulous piecing together of events expose a shameful period in British political history; one which most people shut their eyes to or meekly surrendered and acquiesced when met with a dominant 'truth'. *This book contains undisclosed & private Labour Party suspension letters
