title: A Parcel of Land
author: Gibbs, Mary Ann
description: Spirited young Harriet Tycherley never dreamed she would one day come into an inheritance.
  
  When she did, she was determined to make the most of it. It was only a parcel of land --  a small estate nearly ruined from neglect --  but Harriet wanted to settle there.
  
  Everyone, however, including her dashing cousin Edward, warned her against living at Beauregard. There were rumors of strange goings-on --  rumors of violence and murder.
  
  But Harriet was a very stubborn young woman --  as Edward soon discovered. And there were some shocking surprises in store... for both of them.
