Enchanted Ground

Patricia Bretton, like her mother and grandmother, has become a servant to the great house, gardens and farms. When her father suddenly dies, the family is plunged into a crisis that is bound up with a long-standing conflict with the Chances, who remain tenants for their lands because the Brettons always refused to sell. Only Patricia has the chance of reaching through the enmities. If she can, she might be able to forge a life for herself outside the heavy weight of Bretton tradition.
