Hampshire, 1900. With the sudden death of her father, the life of fifteen-yearold Harriet Benson changes forever. Forced from her home to escape the<br/>advances of her leering stepbrother Norris, Harriet is sent into service to<br/>provide for the family. Arriving at the grand Dalton House, she meets the<br/>owners' crippled son Joseph, with whom friendship soon blossoms. When<br/>circumstances force Joseph to leave the family home, Harriet is happy to<br/>accompany him and break free from the controlling influence of her stepmother.<br/>But Harriet is unprepared for the event which will alter her life even further: her<br/>unexpected inheritance of Greyladies, a supposedly haunted house in the<br/>country. Could this be the safe haven she so desperately needs, and does the<br/>ghost of its previous owner really roam the halls? While Harriet and Joseph<br/>grow ever closer, the plots and actions of both their families threaten to<br/>destroy their happiness. Will their love, and the legacy of Greyladies, be able to<br/>survive?<br/>
