When Sarah learns that she possesses not a single drop of MacKenzie blood, she is devastated and runs to her betrothed in Edinburgh. Unfortunately for Sensible Sarah, Henry has been imprisoned for failing to honor a gambling debt. When Henry's mother, Lady Emily, countess of Glenforth, demands that Sarah turn over her dowry to Henry so that he can pay his debt and get out of prison, Sarah vows to let Henry rot in prison and she turns her attention and affections to the orphans of Edinburgh. Her struggles to provide the children of the streets with a place to live, combined with Lady Emily's poison tongue, have her at constant odds with the good people of the town..
