The lifeblood of the Wiltshire village of Ivy Hill is
its coaching inn, The Bell. But when the innkeeper dies
suddenly, his genteel wife, Jane Bell, becomes the reluctant
owner. Jane has no notion of how to run a business. However,
with the town's livelihood at stake and a large loan due,
she must find a way to bring new life to the inn.
Despite their strained relationship, Jane turns to her
resentful mother-in-law, Thora, for help. Formerly mistress
of The Bell, Thora is struggling to find her place in the
world. As she and Jane work together, they form a measure of
trust, and Thora's wounded heart begins to heal. When she
encounters two men from her past, she sees them--and her
future--in a different light.
With pressure mounting from the bank, Jane employs
innovative methods to turn the inn around, and puzzles over
the intentions of several men who seem to have a vested
interest in the place. Will her efforts be enough to save
The Bell? And will Thora embrace the possibility of a second
chance at love?
