Una bambina viziata, bruttina, dispotica rimane l'unica soppravvisuta dopo un'epidemia di colera che uccide tutti, padre, madre e servitú, lasciandola sola al mondo. L'unico parente é un eccentrico zio inglese, che vive isolato in un castello in mezzo alla brughiera. Mary un po' alla volta viene in contatto con il figlio di lui, un ragazzino viziato e nevrotico, con una giovane domestica di paese e con suo fratello, amico di fiori e animali. Ma soprattutto contribuisce alla sua rinascita la scoperta di un misterioso giardino segreto, che rifiorisce con lei. Storia di Frances H. Burnett

So to Hadley's surprise, on the very night of Archer's funeral, she has a run in with Death himself and is offered the chance to go back in time to stop Archer from ending his life. The catch? She only has twenty-seven days to do it. And if Hadley doesn't succeed? Well, she doesn't want to think about that.
