Lizzie Galpine has long had her heart set on Will Gosden, a local stone mason. When Will holds Lizzie close, it feels as though nothing in the world could possibly come between them.
However a visit to Mardi Appleby, a gypsy girl and fortune-teller, throws Lizzie's plans of marriage to Will into disarray. Surely Mardi is wrong about Lizzie marrying a man whose name begins with S?
When Mardi realises that the two girls are destined to love the same man, fate turns against Lizzie and she must face an uncertain future.
