313 pp. "Dona Celestis, a "charity child," is taken to live with Mrs. Conyers and her son Michael. Dona stood in awe of Michael--in fact, everyone did but Garth Repton, half brother of Michael and Mrs. Conyers' son by a former marriage. Garth treats Dona as a little girl but she develops a devotion to him which is more important to her than anything else in the world."--jacket flap
