Appalled by the news her father gives her, Professor Cassell's daughter, who had lived very happily with her widowed father in war-torn 1950's London, knows she has to get as far away from him and London as she possibly can. She applies and is accepted for a job at a boarding school in Cornwall. But all is not what it seems in this remote institution.

With the death of her first love in the Great War, independent-minded Eglantine Thorpe decides to devote herself to school teaching. Rejecting a proposal of marriage, she weathers the storms ahead alone, until young Nell enters her life. Bright, fearless, and outspoken, Nell becomes the daughter Eglantine never had.
