In a house of secrets, can good prevail?
Though Sarah comes from the wrong end of the Fifteen Streets, she's always been determined to make the best of her life. And when she attracts the attention of the young David Heatherington, with his kind eyes and gentle voice, it seems her luck is finally on the up.
That is, until she meets David's mother, the indominable Mary Heatherington. A fierce woman who runs a spotless house, Mary's authority over the men of her family has never been challenged. So when Sarah arrives and brings with her a liveliness and laughter that has long been absent from the Heatherington household, Mary quickly takes against her.
As Sarah struggles to find her place in her new family, she soon discovers that even the people she trusts the most have secrets they're anxious to hide . . . but how far will they go to keep them?
