A family purchased an estate from an Earl and worked it for years, improving it.  The head of the family died leaving guide, daughter and stepdaughter.  The stepdaughter managed the estate and was well liked by the tenants.  A few years after he died theirSolicitor came telling them that the old Earl had passed and the land they thought they bought was entailed and could not be separated from the Earl' s estate and the Earl wanted them to move out.The daughter had a dowry but the stepdaughter used her dowry to improve the property and to modernize so it would bring in more income.She refused to move in the short time the Earl wanted.  He wanted to rent to a rich American family who had a marriage aged daughter.  They worked out a deal where her family played hostess to him and the American family.  Each had an ulterior motive. This was a very good book.  The mix up in purposes was interesting.  I recommend this historical novel.  .  .  .
