From the emerald fields of Drumgillan Manor to the teaming shanties of New York, this is the story of Tom Dalton and the women who alter his destiny. From the brawling waterfront to gilded Fifth Avenue Salons, this is a saga of four generations of Dalton men and women, rocked by the storms of history, carried on the tidal waves of their own passions, fated to know the exhilaration of dreams fulfilled and sorrows of so many partings.
