Following the tragic death of his parents, the Earl of Cairnforth inherits his title at just a few hours old. Orphaned, disabled, and facing a life of pain and loneliness, those around him think it might be better if he doesn't survive. They have reckoned without the indomitable spirit that enables the Earl to transform his estate and touch the lives of everyone he meets. But the hardest challenge of all proves to be betrayal by the woman he has loved since childhood. Can the Earl find a way to build a family, in spite of what he has lost? In this poignant novel, Dinah Mulock Craik places a disabled hero at the centre of her narrative, offering a radical perspective on nineteenth-century attitudes to disability, family, and what it means to live a worthwhile life.
