Meredith Champlin, newly appointed guardian of her cousin's 11-year old daughter, travels with her Welsh Corgi and the unhappy child to Cornwall, where they plan to spend the summer with English relatives at shabby-chic Barton Hall. The summer gets more complicated with the addition of a former-British-soldier-turned-significant-other, a proposed canine obedience school, and an effort to save the estate from pending insolvency.
