Alice Severn is barely sixteen, a shy and talented pianist whose gifts are already the talk of her small town. Her mother, a widowed seamstress, clings to the belief that her daughter is still a child, unready for the world beyond the family hearth. The clock ticks with ordinary worries—money, health, and the looming fear of what will happen should the mother’s strength fail.
Enter Mr. Welby, a persuasive music advocate who insists that Alice’s fingers are meant for the public stage, arguing that a modest career would spare the family future hardship. The mother’s heart wavers between protective love and the harsh reality of providing for her children. As the debate sharpens, Alice stands at a crossroads, her innocence poised against a path that could define both her destiny and the family’s survival.

A hugely productive Victorian storyteller, she wrote vivid novels of family life, small-town society, and the supernatural while supporting her family through her pen. Her work ranges from the much-loved Chronicles of Carlingford to ghost stories that still feel sharp and modern.
