Publisher's Synopsis
On a moonlit night in 1898, Kathleen Wyman lies in labour at Bessington Hall, her husband Edward sure she has been unfaithful to him. In his blind jealous rage he gives away the baby to the gypsy Rona Parrish. Kathleen, frenzied with grief, is soon after locked away in an asylum.
Named after Rona's own mother, the lovely raven-haired Starlena grows up in ignorance of her true parentage and vast inheritance, believing her birthplace to be Whistledown Valley. And Rona, always afraid, stays watchful over the years for any sign that someone might track Starlena down - someone who wishes her harm...
