Description

Six lively sisters are saying goodbye to the little brown house that has been their refuge, boarding a carriage amid a chorus of waving handkerchiefs and heartfelt farewells. Their village watches with mixed sorrow and pride as they set off for Martingale, a town that promises a grand new home and the kindness of a welcoming family. The sisters’ banter—full of laughter, teasing, and a touch of sibling rivalry—captures their close bond and the hopeful excitement of leaving familiar streets behind.

Arriving at the impressive estate of Dr. and Mrs. Campbell, the girls find a world of possibilities waiting behind polished doors and warm smiles. As they begin to settle into rooms filled with lilac-scented breezes, they must navigate the expectations of their new guardians while holding onto the memories that shaped them. Their journey hints at fresh friendships, gentle challenges, and the promise that love can blossom even in unfamiliar places.
