FROM MASTERLESS TO MISTRESS OF THE HOUSE. BUT CAN IT LAST?
1907: Beautiful and spirited, Grace Merrill seems to stand with the world at her feet until a family tragedy obliges Grace to enter a life in service at Keston Hall. It is a world of sadistic housekeepers, drunken butlers and genuine hardship and drudgery for those employed in servicing the few.
However, she soon discovers that she has another talent when she manages to escape from the kitchen to work as the family nanny. Here she learns to love Lady Lydiard's children as her own and revel in the isolated world of the nursery.
As time passes, war looms and change reaches out to touch the Hall, Grace grows to become not just the touchstone of the children's lives but in essence the mistress of the house itself.
Amidst all this, she has met the love of her life: Brake Merrowby. But is he the right man to give her the personal fulfilment she craves?
