Instead, she found herself invited into the stately home of Dorothy Peyton, a recently widowed lady-in-waiting. There, under the formidable guidance of Sister Bailey, Queenie discovered a new world: birdsong, knitting circles and taking tea with royalty. In such unfamiliar, unlikely surroundings, might Queenie and the other waifs and strays have finally found somewhere to call home?
