On a moonlit night in 1898, Kathleen Wyman lies in labour at Bessington Hall, her husband Edward sure that she has been unfaithful. In a jealous rage, he gives the baby away to Rona Parrish, a gypsy summoned to help with the delivery, whilst Kathleen, mad with grief, is committed to an asylum. The little girl, named Starlena after Rona's mother, grows up in ignorance of her true parentage and vast inheritance, believing her birthplace to be the beautiful Whistledown Valley. But Rona, always afraid, stays watchful for any sign that someone might track Starlena down - someone who means her harm ...
