They flee to England where her brother is unjustly incarcerated. Bridget, apprehensive and alone, finds employment with the Thorncroft family to care for an orphaned boy of 7 months old. When the child is kidnapped, an old secret is suddenly revealed. Justice finally prevails and Bridget's life takes on a new perspective.
1871-1876 Elizabeth Chandler. 20-year-old Elizabeth takes on the task of caring for the wife of the heir to Ravenslea Manor. When tragedy strikes and a court case takes place, Elizabeth becomes indelibly involved with the Thorncroft family with its mysterious past and dangerous present.

However, one member of the family shows an unwarranted hostility towards Catherine.
