Inheritance changes everything, as Ella Kennedy soon discovers when her
father dies and the hundred-acre farm she has grown up on and run for
years in the Wexford countryside is no longer hers. Hurt and angry
following a fight with her brother, Ella leaves her home and people she
cares for and joins her wild cousin Kitty in Dublin.
Exiled in the city, Ella is forced to make a new life for herself like
the other country girls. She tries to forget the farm, pushing all
thoughts of Sean Flanagan, the neighbour she had loved, from her mind.
In time she hopes to return to the home she left and find true happiness
with a man who wants her for herself, and not what she will bring him.
