Tansy Trehearn was born and bred in the beautiful and little Cornish port
of the village St. Ruthyn, where Martin Wyde was opening a small hotel,
The Seagull's Cry.

Tansy was falling in love with her employer Martin. She had never been so
bewildered, she had met the one man she could ever love, and found that
she had to fight her own sister in order to get him. And that was when she
learned that the cry of the seagull was no more sad and tortured than the
cry of her own heart. Because while Martin and Tansy's love softly flowered,
several people were plotting to ruin their newfound happiness.
