Tras mudarse a su mansion en el norte de Inglaterra, a la que rodea un inmenso paramo, Mary descubrira la felicidad de las cosas sencillas, el poder del afecto y la bondad sinceros, la belleza que florece aun en medio del abandono, y la magia que, aunque esta en todas las cosas, requiere perspicacia para atraparla.
