Description
Two girls of their age have been given a rare opportunity to embark on an adventure entirely on their own. In 1919, Jane and her cousin Lucilla find themselves in a precarious situation after their guardian's financial mismanagement leaves them with little more than a small cottage in the countryside.
The orphaned cousins must rely on their resourcefulness to earn a living, taking risks such as cutting flowers from their garden and inviting paying guests who often fail to pay. As they navigate this uncertain future, they strive to maintain their independence and avoid unwanted attention from male admirers.
