| Shirley is the strong-willed and headstrong young woman who moves to a small village where she has inherited a vast amount of land, a house, and joint-ownership in a mill. She quickly befriends orphaned Caroline, a quite girl who is pretty much Shirley's opposite and is madly in love with Robert Moore (who is co-owner of Shirley's mill).
While Caroline tries to suppress her feeling for Robert, who she is convinced will never love her back, and wonders about the parents she never met; nearly every unmarried man for miles around is trying to gain the rich Shirley's hand...but Shirley has feelings for someone that everyone least suspects. | ||
