In name and by birth, Celia was a Dunne. She had inherited the beautiful old family home by the Rydd Water - but was she bound to live her life by the principles of her predecessors?

Miss Bun, the Baker's Daughter
A masterpiece of light amusement from the remarkable D. E. Stevenson Sue Pringle's uncharacteristically impulsive decision to accept a post as housekeeper to Mr and Mrs Darnay throws her family's hopes of her marrying a local suitor into disarray. And when Mrs Darnay suddenly departs, Sue's position in the house is left open to idle gossip - Mr Darnay is after all an artist, and everybody knows that means. Oblivious to everyone's concern, Mr Darney and Miss Bun - as Mr Darnay has now re-named Sue - enjoy an easy working relationship. But it is not until Sue is summoned home that she finally realizes the strength of her feelings towards her charming employer...

But when circumstances compel her to return home to the countryside to care for her niece, she is fearful of the tasks required of her, and what it will mean to open her heart once more. Can she meet the challenges ahead, and heal her loneliness, as she builds a life for herself and young Clementina?
