Shyly, half defiantly she lifted the latch, opened the gate and stepped within. Such loveliness made her gasp. This must be heaven on earth but to it's owner, Grandmother Ainslee, it was just "Rainbow Cottage". Sheila's story of her father's cruel treatment and desertion was hard to believe, so Grandmother Ainslee promised herself she'd make it up to the girl. That day was the dawning of a new life for Sheila. But into this life came Jacqueline, the wild, selfish cousin who hated her. Then to offset Jacqueline's hatred came Angus' love, and all the while Buck's terrible figure lurked in the background, threatening Sheila.
