Title: A Wind From The Hill
Description: In the eye of the public, handsome Gilbert Crofting is an eminent and respected lawyer. In private, he is a worried widower saddled with the responsibility of three irrepressible daughters and his aged, unpredictable aunt. His new wife, Mummy-Jo to the girls, has packed her bags and quietly left. 'Why?' wails Victoria, who finds herself reluctantly in charge. 'Perhaps we took her too much for granted,' suggests Camilla. 'Perhaps she wanted to be treated like a bride.' 
'A bride!' echoes the schoolgirl Deborah, embarrassed and astonished. 'Fa with a bride! Old men don't have brides!' 
A Wind from the Hill is the story of how the Crofting family, with the help and hindrance of Aunt Belle, aged minx and fairy godmother by turn, battle for their individual rights and for the rights of the young men next door with whom Camilla and Victoria are in love. These two, bitter enemies tangled in a legal complication that leaves one unfairly penniless, the other undeservedly rich, are drawn uncomfortably together by the sisterly devotion of Camilla and Victoria, and set at odds by Gilbert's acceptance of one and disapproval of the other.
