Description
In 1900, Hephzibah Wildman's life is turned upside down by tragedy. With her parents' death, she becomes homeless and destitute. Seeking a fresh start, she takes a job as a governess at Ingleton Hall. There, she befriends the local parson, Merritt Nightingale, and catches the eye of Thomas Egdon, a handsome young man. However, Hephzibah soon finds herself in a difficult situation when her employer, Sir Richard Egdon, makes unwanted advances towards her. This sets her on a path of desperation that will have far-reaching consequences for everyone involved. As Hephzibah navigates this challenging time, she must confront the difficult choices she faces and decide how far she is willing to go to protect herself and those around her.
