Ada Bell loves her position as an upstairs maid at Winterberry Park. It’s her fellow maids she could do without. Sisters Mary and Martha Mull have made more trouble in her life than anyone deserves. But hope of a better life is within reach in the form of handsome schoolteacher, Timothy Turnbridge. Tim has loved Ada almost from the moment he met her. At last, the time feels right to do something about it. There’s just one problem—one of his older students, Alice Jones. Alice is almost out of the schoolroom and has a furious crush on Tim. With the Valentine’s Day dance approaching, she’s determined to get her man. When Mary Mull comes up with a plan to keep Ada and Tim apart, and when Alice gets mixed up in the mess, hilarity ensues. Winterberry Park has never seen the kind of comedy of errors that explodes when rivalries, crushes, and just plain silliness turn everything upside down.
