The Glass Heiress — Alice Dwyer-Joyce

When a family goes to the fair for an evening's enjoyment and tragedy strikes them out of the skies, a safe and loving home is destroyed. Anne Catherine, daughter of Dr John Rohan of Derrycreevy House, finds herself in a strange world. She refuses to let it go. There are ghosts that haunt the place, children in old-fashioned dresses.... Constance Peppard Hamilton, grandmother of Anne, lives in poverty, in what had been the hunt kennels, with the tattered remnant of her family. Anne goes to live there and learns the hard life.
