Its mistress Harriet, her husband Joseph, and their sons are allowed to stay in the rear part of the house; but when tragedy strikes Joseph's brothers, his future at Greyladies is at risk... When her German employers are interned because of the war, Phoebe Sinclair loses her job; and even worse, her brutish step-cousin Frank tries to force her to marry him. Fleeing to London, Phoebe starts a new life as a nursing assistant - and when she's posted to Greyladies, she feels she's come home. But Frank is still pursuing her, and her blossoming friendship with career soldier Corin McMinty has its own problems. With obstacles at every turn, can Phoebe find happiness? ER -
