A story that cuts right through the heart when one woman who has everything is prepared to throw it all away...

When Harris Simons is orphaned at the age of eight, she is taken in by her aunts to live at their secluded large house. The two sisters have their own secrets, hiding difficult childhoods and the little girl’s arrival soon turns their world upside down.

Great plans are laid for their good-looking, headstrong niece but she falls in love with a man who only has his own interests at heart.

Harris scandalises and disgraces her family with her obsessive love of one man, making herself a laughing stock in the close-knit town.

Not to be put down, Harris begins to build a successful business with the support of her aunts and her close friend, Bonny. She eventually meets and agrees to marry the respectable local solicitor to the happiness of her aunts, but at the altar, she hears her lost love enter the church...
