The three Misses Leaf, genteel and short of money, take on Elizabeth Hand, a tall, awkward fifteen-year-old washerwoman’s daughter, as their only servant. Over the years she grows into the household’s mainstay, loyal through debt, illness and the love affairs of the youngest sister, Hilary, while learning to love in her own way.
