The story revolves around the lives of two sisters, Rachel and Grace Curtis, who are left orphaned and penniless after their father's death.

The novel explores themes of love, marriage, loyalty, and family relationships, and is set in the Victorian era. The title ""Heartsease"" refers to a flower that symbolizes peace and tranquility, and the novel ultimately suggests that true happiness can only be found through love and forgiveness.Were they to leave the country? This was still under consideration. The next fortnight made some difference in Theodora's wishes respecting Brogden Cottage. Violet becoming less timid, ventured to show that she took interest in poor people; and Theodora was pleased by finding her able to teach at school, and to remember the names of the children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
