Across the Moor, Mary Lennox wakes up to find her world completely changed. After a cholera epidemic sweeps through her home in India, everyone—including her parents and servants—has either died or fled, leaving her completely alone. A group of soldiers eventually discovers her, shocked that she was forgotten. She is sent to England to live with her reclusive uncle, Archibald Craven, at Misselthwaite Manor. The journey is cold and unfamiliar, and Mary feels lost and unwanted. Upon arrival, she finds the manor dark and lonely, setting the stage for the mysteries that await her. Summary by Dream AudioBooks
