"After the French Revolution, the very young, beautiful and aristocratic Isabelle de Savigny flees France after the guillotining of her father. She turns to her cousin in England, the imperious and implacably cold Lady Rosaleen, who lives on a beautiful country estate called Nethergate. Expecting to find succor and a respite from her woes, Isabelle instead finds that, as a now poor relation, she is to be shown her place. which is little more than that of a servant, rather than that of an honored guest. She is manipulated by Lady Rosaleen into becoming little more than assistant to Lady Rosaleen's maid, Martha. Unhappy with her lot and distressed with her treatment, she falls prey to the romantic overtures of Lady Rosaleen's youngest son, Alan, and they fall in love. When Martha discovers their involvement, she promptly reports it to Lady Rosaleen, who has her son recalled for service by his regiment, where he is sent overseas. In the meantime, discovering that Isabelle is pregnant, she arranges for Isabelle to be married to Martha's one armed, boorish brother, George, so that the baby will have a father. They leave for the country where they will be innkeepers. Lady Rosaleen simply tells her household that Isabelle has run away. There, Isabelle meets Joanna, a woman well trained in the medicinal arts, who ends up helping her in a way that Isabelle could never imagine. After giving birth to a beautiful girl, whom she names Annabelle, and who is the spitting image of Alan, her life is barely worth living at the hands of her abusive husband. The fates and Joanna intervene and provide a way for her to leave the inn and seek a better future without George. Isabelle turns her energies to providing for her young child, as best she can. She finds herself returning to Nethergate, where she takes charge of a destiny that will one day see her fortunes returned to her through Annabelle. This is the story of Isabelle's struggles to restore to her and her child the life and place in society that Isabelle once knew. It is a story of loss and betrayal, of love and hope. It is an enormously entertaining story and one which the reader will enjoy."-Amazon Reviewer.
