About this ebook

When Anstice Barrett learns that her father has left the family manor mortgaged and her income reduced to a pittance, her sheltered life collapses in a single afternoon. With no practical training and no clear future, she must find a way to live by her own wits, and a visit from her formidable cousin, Lady Lucy Harcourt, soon leads her toward an even stranger prospect: a place in the troubled household of Justin Holme, a wealthy widower in remote Cumberland. Justin's home is in chaos, his children are unruly, and his servants unreliable, but his first offer to Anstice is not employment—it is marriage. Coldly practical and deeply unsettling, his proposal asks her to become a "second mother" in a businesslike union that would give her security while solving his domestic problems. Furious at first, Anstice rejects him, yet his apology, her growing sympathy for his burdened children, and her own sense of duty gradually draw her north. In the wild, disorderly household she finds purpose, earning the children's trust and helping others around her, too. As affection deepens and difficult choices multiply, Anstice must decide whether pride, pity, and independence can coexist with love, responsibility, and a new life. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

Amy Le Feuvre was an English writer of children's and devotional fiction whose long career helped shape the moral imagination of generations of young readers. Born in the late Victorian era and writing into the early decades of the twentieth century, she developed a distinctive voice that blended gentle storytelling with clear spiritual purpose, drawing on the values, anxieties, and aspirations of her own time. She became especially admired for her ability to write engaging stories for girls and families that were both entertaining and morally earnest, and her books found a wide readership in homes, schools, and Christian circles. Le Feuvre's fiction often centers on themes of faith, obedience, forgiveness, humility, and the quiet transformation of character through love and grace, making her work both a reflection of its era and a window into enduring human concerns. What keeps her relevant today is the sincerity of her vision: she wrote about growing up, suffering, duty, and hope in a way that still speaks to readers looking for stories with heart and conviction. Her legacy lies in her gift for combining accessible narrative with spiritual depth, offering an alternative to fiction that is merely sentimental or merely didactic. Readers who enjoy classic children's literature, Christian fiction, or stories of moral and emotional growth will find Amy Le Feuvre especially rewarding.
