Mistress Pat

Home is where the heart is

At twenty years old, Pat Gardiner has never regretted staying at her beloved home of Silver Bush. She has the wild stories of housekeeper Judy Plum to amuse her, a countess to entertain, a cat named Bold-and-Bad to keep out of trouble, and her younger sister Rae to care for.

But she does miss her friend Jingle Gordon, who's away at college. He's the only boy who ever truly understood her, and their little spot called Happiness is much lonelier without him. Eventually, though, Pat will have to choose: the house she's loved her entire life...or falling in love and starting a home of her own.
