Kate Hardy

In D.E. Stevenson’s engaging tale, novelist Kate Hardy arrives at the picturesque Dower House in Old Quinings, seeking refuge from her demanding sister Milly and her indulged niece Minty. Despite the warm welcome from local figures like Richard Morven and the widowed Mrs. Stack, Kate quickly becomes the subject of village gossip and a sinister poison pen campaign, all while navigating rumors about her haunted new home. As Mrs. Stack’s son Walter returns from war and struggles to fit back into village life, Kate's quest for inspiration may prove more challenging than she anticipated.
