During World War I, the ancient manor house of Greyladies in rural
Wiltshire is requisitioned for a hospital. Its mistress, Harriet
Latimer, her husband Joseph and their two sons are allowed to stay
in part of the house, but when tragedy strikes Joseph's brothers,
his future at Greyladies is at risk. Latimer family legend says a
new mistress will be found to look after the house, yet how does
this happen? In Swindon, Phoebe Sinclair is unaware of her
connection to Greyladies and the Latimers. When her German
employers are interned because of the war, she loses her job. Worse
still, her brutish step-cousin Frank tries to force her to marry
him and Phoebe has no choice but to flee to London. A chance
encounter leads her to a new life as a nursing assistant in the VAD
(voluntary aid detachments), and to a blossoming friendship with
Captain Corin McMinty. When Phoebe is posted to the hospital at
Greyladies, she feels she's come home. But Frank is still pursuing
her and Corin has his own problems. With obstacles at every turn,
can Phoebe find happiness and embrace the role of mistress of
Greyladies?
