Publisher's Synopsis
It is the year 1881, and Rachel Biddisham is celebrating her success in becoming a certified teacher. Little does she know what a tangle her appointment at the Old Priory will bring. One of her pupils is the wilful Alicia who is engaged to Laurence Knight. But it is the arrival of the handsome Orlando Ormerod, the new art master, that sets off a chain of events which end with an elopement and a turnaround in Rachel's romantic attachments.
