Kitty Alone

Kate Quarm, a bright and sensitive girl living with her aunt and uncle at Coombe Cellers in Devon, often feels lonely and misunderstood. Her father, a dreamer with constant get-rich-quick schemes, adds to her sense of isolation. Things take a turn when she transports the son of the wealthiest farmer across the Teign, igniting his feelings for her, but complications arise from the ambitions of Rose Ash, who has her sights set on him. Amidst these entanglements, Kate finds herself more captivated by the stars and tides than by romance.
