Frost Patterns

The Colley family is riven by secrets and lies. On the surface, there is tremendous support and love, but below that surface lie truths which the family members need to keep hidden – but truths have a nasty habit of surfacing.

Moorton Tops is a village of colliers and their families. Every dangerous shift takes the men 2000 feet below the ground and their wives await their safe return, but it leaves some wives and one in particular, with time on their hands.

However, the community of Moorton Tops is profoundly close-knit and an unguarded word or a late-night view from a window can cause repercussions; for Doreen Colley, potentially deadly ones.
