Description

Polly lives in the quiet village of Lady Gay Cottage, where everyday moments are often interrupted by the lingering shadows of her past. When a sudden accident brings a wounded Mr. Bean to the local doctor, he clutches a small rose‑wood box that once belonged to Polly’s mother, sparking a flood of memories and unanswered questions. The box, adorned with tiny pearl flowers, becomes a focal point for Polly as she navigates the uneasy ties to her demanding Aunt Jane.

As Polly and the doctor race to retrieve the heirloom, she discovers that the simple trinket holds more than a cherished photograph—it hints at secrets kept within the family’s old bureau. The story unfolds with gentle humor and tender concern, revealing Polly’s yearning to reconnect with her mother’s legacy while confronting the complexities of loyalty and forgiveness. Listeners are drawn into a warm, early‑twentieth‑century world where love, loss, and a mysterious little box intertwine.
