Amidst the backdrop of a nineteenth century English country estate, two women struggle to find love–and the truth that could either bind them together or tear them apart. <\/p>\n

When Bront\u00eb agreed to marry John Baptiste, she did not have any of the idealism of most new brides. Their marriage was one of convenience. Lord John Baptiste needed an heir, and Bront\u00eb’s family needed a quick answer to their financial woes. Unfortunately, the marriage was not the answer to the problems that they had hoped for. Instead, it becomes the catalyst for a chain of events that could prove nearly fatal. The day following the wedding, Lord John is almost killed by a gunman, leaving Bront\u00eb to run Markby Estate on her own. <\/p>\n

Almost immediately, Bront\u00eb realizes there are many strange happenings at Markby Estate, the least of which are the actions of its servants. Addison Le Claire is the enigmatic and volatile caretaker’s daughter. Through a series of incidents and deductions on Bront\u00eb’s part, she is able to coerce Addison’s secrets from her. In a startling admission, Bront\u00eb learns that not only is Addison illiterate, but she has been singlehandedly running Markby Estate since her father’s death months before. Addison discloses to Bront\u00eb that she has stayed at Markby because she wants to make extra money for a trip to Paris to study art. In truth, she is looking for clues to her mother’s disappearance 22 years before. Clues, Addison is positive, she will find behind the walls of Markby Estate. <\/p>\n

The Caretaker’s Daughter delves into the budding relationship of two women born into different backgrounds. As the story progresses, Addison and Bront\u00eb explore the bright possibilities of love and the dark truths of greed. In the end, the lies of the past are uncovered and serve to break the chains for future happiness.<\/p><\/div>\n
