My Honourbright

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. In the windswept Cornish village of S. Canice, the ruined Vandeleur family is scattered after their father's death and their mother's collapse, sending six daughters into separate lives of hardship, duty, and uncertain hope. Fifteen years later, Honora has become a practical, self-possessed young woman, educated abroad and working quietly under Madame André, while her sisters have fared very differently: one is a nurse, another a restless drifter, and Marian is left frail, underpaid, and vulnerable in a home for suffering children. When Marian's distress calls Honora back to England, the sisters are reunited in tenderness and anxiety, and Honora immediately begins fighting for Marian's safety and dignity. As doctors, guardians, and institutions close in, Honora proves both compassionate and capable, arranging shelter, seeking work, and trying to keep the sisters together. Her efforts lead her to Heyward's College in Cornwall, where she faces the comic bustle and hidden tensions of school life while quietly confronting matters of the heart. There she becomes entangled in suspicions, moral dilemmas, and, finally, a deeply felt proposal from Dr. Egerton, whose honor, secrecy, and uncertain future make their love both passionate and precarious. Rich in Cornish atmosphere and emotional restraint, My Honourbright is a family drama of endurance, sisterhood, and the difficult path toward happiness.
