  Oakwood Grange has new owners. Janie Whittaker feels an unaccountable attachment to the old place from the very first visit and, inspired by The House Book, decides it's time she traced the estranged branch of her own family. But it's Janie's discovery of Alice's diary in amongst some old papers which provides a more interesting link between past and present and soon she's absorbed in Alice's world. Meanwhile, Janie can't help noticing one or two strange little occurrences in the house—even their foundling cat seems a bit odd—but none of this really fazes her. 
   
   
   
  It's true the witches' marks over the fireplace are a bit unsettling, but then belief in witches was commonplace in the seventeenth century and now, surely, everyone knows . . . there's no such thing as witchcraft?

  After surviving the horrors of the Black Death, a lapsed nun takes to the road alone, protected from rain and robbers by the skin of a bear.  
  In 1351, many in England begin thinking that their mighty overlords -- Church and Crown - have no control over their fates and a new horizon beckons. It’s a time when labor is in high demand, and nature offers immense bounty to those who have survived death and disease.  
  Sister Mary Thomas stumbles into a manor house and when she is mistaken for its Baroness she discovers she now has the power to liberate peasants threatened in new ways and perhaps even build a community where all can ask, "what happens if I get what I have always wanted?" 
  That's where the danger lies: their freedom is a threat to powerful people determined to keep what is theirs.
