| Grace Marks is an Irish young woman growing up in Canada. Grace survived a harrowing voyage from Ireland to Canada and she has survived extreme poverty with her inept and sometimes abusive father. She works as a maid in wealthy families, cleaning and cooking. Eventually, she comes to work for Thomas Kinnear. She is accused of murdering Kinnear and his housekeeper, Nancy Montgomery, and is sent to the Kingston Penitentiary. Many years after her conviction, Grace is visited by Dr. Simon Jordan, a young doctor specializing in the new field of psychiatry. Jordan slowly draws memories from Grace, tracing her difficult life and bringing her to the day of Kinnear's death. | ||
