In Eden Hall, Minty learned that God loves and values her, despite her bleak and repressive childhood. Now Minty has inherited Eden Hall--and a host of problems. There's no money to keep the massive Hall open, members of her step-family do their utmost to destroy her, and the staff at the Hall are up to no good. Everyone has high expectations of her, but she is too inexperienced to avoid all the pitfalls in her new life. She has found her own true love again and is sure of her own feelings, but Patrick has doubts about their future together. Both Minty and Patrick have to learn how to forgive those who have damaged them in the past, especially when those same people still have the power to destroy them. Minty learns she has to be wise as a serpent to find ways to keep the Hall going and to save the villagers who depend upon it for their livelihood. All the quirky characters from Eden Hall--and many more--crowd around, looking for leadership from the Lady of the Hall.
