'You deserve more than this, Jess . . . You deserve to know the truth
about the McNallys.'
When a newborn baby girl is found abandoned with nothing but a scarlet
ribbon tied to her basket, Ada Davidson, housekeeper of the wealthy
McNally family's home, the Uplands, takes her into her care. Sworn to
secrecy about the baby's true identity, Ada names her Jess and brings
her up as her own, giving Jess no reason to question where she came
from.
But when Ada passes away, grief-stricken Jess, now sixteen, is banished
from the place she's always called home. With the scarlet ribbon the
only connection to her past, will Jess ever find out where she really
belongs? And will she uncover the truth about the ruthless McNallys?
