Sinopsis
Mystery, manners, and the margins of society in a Victorian house with secrets.
This novel follows Emmie Trevor as she steps into Myst Court, a Wiltshire estate where duty to others clashes with privilege. Guided by her thoughtful uncle, Captain Arrows, and joined by her spirited brother Vibert, she learns that charity requires more than a kind gesture—it asks for care, restraint, and real understanding of those in need. Through rooms with memories and a surrounding world of tenants, children, and neighbors, the story explores how a single household can test the spirits of both givers and receivers.
- A richly drawn Victorian setting with a family navigating duty, wealth, and the daily work of helping others
- Gentle, socially aware scenes of district visiting, alms-giving, and the complicated consequences of kindness
- A house with history and secrets that shape the characters’ choices and fears
- Character-driven moments of growth, doubt, and resilience as the household faces challenges near and far

Excerpt from The Haunted Room: A Tale
Interest in the prayers of her readers? May she not hope that they will ask for her, wisdom, humil ity, zeal, and success? It would be sweet to one struggling with the difficulty of learning a new language to know that many joined in the supplica tion, O Lord! Open Thou her lips, that her mouth may shew forth Thy praise! And that many be sought Him whose strength is made perfect in.

Excerpt from The Haunted Room: A Tale
"A Pleasant nest my brother-in-law has found for his family," said Captain Arrows to himself, as, carpet-bag in hand, he walked the brief distance from a railway-station to his relative's house. "Trevor's home is near enough to London for its inmates to reach Charing-Cross by train in fifteen minutes, and yet far enough from it to be beyond reach of its smoke and noise. Not quite so," added the captain as he passed a Savoyard with hurdy-gurdy and monkey, and then was overtaken by an omnibus well filled within and without; "but I doubt if our young folk would have relished perfect rural seclusion, or would have wished to have dwelt fifty miles from the Great Exhibition and Albert Hall.
