Contada a través de entradas de diario, esta colección ofrece una visión convincente e inmersiva de las experiencias de una mujer extraordinaria en un mundo desafiante.
In 1796, impetuous Martha Morgan becomes the mistress of an estate, at only eighteen years old. Though she loves her husband dearly, she is lonely in a strange house, and her quick wit and cutting humour make her as many enemies as friends.
Martha Morgan, the beautiful young mistress of the Plas Ingli estate, is warned that trouble is brewing for her family. She tries to carry on with her life, but then she receives the most terrible news any young wife and mother can imagine. Despair threatens to overwhelm her, but Martha has many responsibilities and must live up to expectations. Little by little, with help from her family and neighbors, she sets out to prove she is more than a match for those who have committed an appalling crime.
