Since she was a girl Annis Kerr has lived with her family's pride. It was pride that led her father to his tragic death, and now pride has driven a wedge between Annis and her elder sister Olivia. For Olivia, beautiful, graceful and full of resentment, is furious that Annis has married before her - even if Annis's husband is the staid ship-owner Doug!as Moncrieff.
