As the great age of canal building comes to Glasgow, a wild and beautiful girl is rescued from a life of poverty and abuse by the old Earl of Kirklee. Isla Anderson has always dreamed of becoming a Lady, and when she goes to live at Kirklee Castle as one of the family it seems as if all her dreams have come true. However, not everyone is willing to forget Isla's humble origins, especially Lady Dorothy - a haughty and spiteful woman who makes no secret of her fervent desire to send Isla straight back to the slums from which she came.

From AudioFile:
This traditional historical romance has a few differences that keep it from completely following the norm; therein lies its interest. Isla Anderson is "rescued" by an elderly, wealthy earl. However, her fortunes are again reversed when his son returns home to claim his inheritance. Isla is particularly intriguing when she strikes out on her own. Narrator Jean Simmons gives life and emotion to a text that is rich with a Scottish setting and characters--gentry and plain folk. Central to the story is the Glasgow Belle, a public house that is frequented by everyone. Simmons's skill with description keeps listeners alert throughout until the clever ending.
