title: Lord Atherton's Ward
author: Miller, Fenella
description: When their father, Sir John, dies leaving Sarah Ellison and her younger sister Jane orphaned, his choice of guardian is entirely disagreeable to Sarah - particularly with Lord Atherton's insistence that they leave their family home and move to Highfield Hall to remain under the care of his mother. The young, passionate Sarah refuses to bow down to the command of anyone - but will her headstrong behaviour alienate Lord Atherton, or prove that she is a girl he can respect?
