who will help him hold onto the family legacy – Truelock Manor, a mansion by the sea that has been the family home for three generations. In his quest for a bride, Stephen is led to Mercy Pruitt, the sweet daughter of a Philadelphia merchant. When they see each other for the first time, it is love at first sight. They marry, and what should be a blissful honeymoon is soon shattered by the death of Mercy’s parents. With her parents gone, Mercy feels responsible for her younger sister, Rose, a mentally disturbed young woman with designs on Stephen. Mercy asks Stephen to allow Rose to live with them, and he agrees. Rose, who is getting harder to handle as she gets older, believes that the only thing standing between her and Stephen being together is Mercy, so Rose seeks a way to rid herself of her loving sister. She learns that one of the household servants, Esther, knows witchcraft. Rose then forces Esther to teach her a spell guaranteed to send Mercy so far away, she can never return. Their Best Years is a saga of the Truelock family, their hopes and dreams, and the love between Stephen and Mercy, which, despite her sister’s dark desires, never dies. Their Best Dreams began life as a three-part series called The Secret of Truelock Manor. It has been revised and given a new and more satisfying ending.
