In 1904, Ruth Yancey is only ten years old when she is brought to live at the magnificent mansion called Fox´s Earth. But the impoverished daughter of an abusive mill worker has already internalized her mother´s steely code: Men may hold all the power, but a woman possesses one thing that can get her anything in the world she wants... if she´s prepared to make certain sacrifices. Deserted by her mother in order to give her a better chance at wealth, Ruth´s own ambition drives her to possess Fox´s Earth at any cost, even though her sacrifice will ultimately be her own husband, children, and grandchildren.
