What's a girl to do when her world of wealth and privlege, suddenly flips over like a speeding car on a hairpin curve? When Mr. 'tall, dark and handsome' turns out to be an insufferable misogynist she would sooner slap silly than kiss? When her long dead mother isn't long dead at all and her mysterious inheritance shocks her to her well-manicured toes? Annie finds herself wondering if she is up to meeting the challenges of a new life without a lady's maid or dealing with the monstrous evil that haunts her dreams and spills over into her waking hours. Secrets thought long dead and buried are stirring again and nobody knows that better than Sister Rachel (witch/psychic/and would be humorist) who may well have a stake in both Annie's past, present and future.
