Nestled beside the Whitethorn Woods, the town has grown since the days when it was small and friendly and everyone knew everyone else; now it has chain stores and traffic problems and housing estates. There is going to be such a fuss about the plans for the new motorway. It's going to by-pass Rossmore, cutting through Whitethorn Woods and endangering St Ann's Well, where generations have come to pray or make wishes or just to look back at the pretty little town. The new road will bring jobs and relieve traffic in the town; for others, it will destroy businesses and leave the town a backwater. The people of Rossmore are divided. There is a lot of land standing in the way of the great road of progress. Quite by accident, the decision rests on Neddy Nolan - the most honest man in Rossmore. A man determined to do the right thing.* A NEAR VG+ copy with NO MAJOR FAULTS. Reduced by dust jacket age and wear to GD++.*
