Then one fateful day Blanche's mother is requested at the 'big house' to nurse Marianne, the motherless daughter of John Savill. The two girls, so different in their hopes, are brought up together caring for each other as sisters.

As she grows over, Blanche is torn between her roots and her desire for a life of wealth and ease.
