25 year old Hayley a university graduate with Honours degrees in all her subjects had from being three years old lived with her aunt and uncle in Derbyshire. Hayley at that young age had felt stifled in London where her parents were building up a large department store and a children’s physiologist had pronounced that Hayley needed an environment where her brain with an IQ in advance of her years could develop in the freedom of being in the countryside. Unfortunately her uncle had died 5 months before she had completed the Switzerland University chosen to meet her needs and spending Sundays with her maternal Grandparents she had spent little time with, and also to be in their protection.Her elderly aunt heartbroken of her beloved husband’s death had unknown to Hayley suffered an operation for cancer just before Hayley went to live with at Oakwood. Fictional Oakwood is an estate and farm business for organic beef, lamb and crops and was run efficiently by an estate manager and farm manager. Hayley was going to take over the accountancy work and also work from Oakwood as a private accountant or tutoring students whilst spending time with her aunt helping her overcome her bereavement.Hayley’s aunt assuring her the Oakwood finances were sound was horrified to discover they were on the point of bankruptcy, as was the managers when they knew. Uncle Albert had left a private letter in the safe apologising for the investments running out and advising her to sell the farm business and she and Aunt Celia live in the home.Determined to not let her uncle’s heritage go and the workers lose their livelihood and homes but be independent of her family after they paid for her very expensive education, set about building the business up without her aunt knowing this crisis. Her prayers were answered in amazing ways and were not just co-incidences.
