Geneva begins her search for answers by accepting an invitation to Ravensmere, her father estate. She struggles to forgive her newfound father for his cruelty to her mother and her own nightmarish childhood. Along with her internal battles, Geneva finds herself caught between the landed gentry and the deep poverty of local farm labourers. She faces labor protests, riots, and a violent attack. Meanwhile, as her friendship with a kind and godly gentleman deepens, her cousin, the displaced heir, attempts to court her with charm and flattery. Now Geneva has to contend with the heart-rending choices of who to trust, who to love, and how to forgive.
But these matters pale in comparison to the real secrets of Ravensmere lying deep within the manor, and Geneva’s discoveries that lead to far more horrifying questions. Suddenly on the run and fearing for her life, she finds herself compelled to trust in God whom she thought had abandoned her. And now, with dangerous secrets on her heels, Geneva Everson must go where no genteel lady would dare.
As you view the charm and romance of this historic manor house, imagine Geneva—a young woman of the working class, inexperienced and nervous as she arrives at Ravensmere and greets her unwelcoming family for the first time
