Miss Stuart’s Legacy

At an Indian railway station, the train pulls away and Belle Stuart is left alone beside her luggage, waiting for a father she has not seen since she was a baby. “I expected him to meet me,” she tells a stranger.

On a crisp autumn morning in British India, trains thunder past bullock-drawn water wheels and the platform empties around the young arrival. Major Marsden offers Belle help, but her real destination is Faizapore, sixty miles away—and the father she has crossed the world to find has not come. New to India and facing a family she barely knows, Belle must begin her life there without the welcome she imagined. Is her father merely delayed, or does his absence mean more than she wants to believe?
