Cicely was a middle-aged woman. Her last living relative was her daughter, who scorned her mother for being so lacking in ambition. Cicely had been penniless before and now she had nothing, not even her health. And then she disappeared.

The year is 1892 and the town of Wintringham is preparing for the annual harvest festival. When handsome, young factory owner's son, Daniel Middleton, steps out of a neighbor's house with a girl on his arm, everyone assumes the pair are courting. But then Cicely disappears, leaving no evidence behind what happened to her and no one knows who Daniel really is. At this point in time it seems that nothing will ever happen to free Daniel from these accusations.
