The Judge's Daughter

Agnes Makepeace has always been courageous and strong-minded; on the surface, she couldn't be more unlike the chilly, reserved Helen Spencer. Agnes knows there is a mystery to her own background and is determined to discover the truth about her past. She believes the key to unlocking the secret is held with her husband's employer, and Helen's father, Judge Zachary Spencer of Lambert House - a mean-spirited widower and solitary man. Judge Spencer has long neglected his daughter and notices her even less when he takes a new wife. But he has underestimated both the extent of his daughter's misery and her determination to enact her revenge. Helen's new-found confidence causes her to behave in a way that will have a lasting and shocking impact on both families and, surprisingly, lead to a lifelong friendship with Agnes. Yet, it is only when the broodingly silent Lambert House ceases to hold its breath, and delivers the answers that Agnes has been seeking, that she can finally find the peace of mind she has always longed for.
