Adding to her disconcerting new life is an initially thorny acquaintance with Joel Cunningham, a former orphanage resident–turned–portrait painter who volunteers there as an art instructor. On impulse, she then applies to be its resident teacher. Living with her grandmother and sister in Regency-era Bath, the disenobled Camille is driven by an inexplicable need: to see the orphanage that once housed her newly discovered (and legitimate) half sister, Anastasia (once Anna Snow). Miss Camille Westcott has to undertake an emotional journey after leaving London in disgrace thanks to the recent discovery of her aristocrat father's bigamy.

An unloving heroine in reduced circumstances, an orphan hero, and the gift of unconditional acceptance.
