My arch enemy

"I, Sally McBride, become the headmistress of an orphanage? Poor two friends, have you lost your minds? I'm no more fit to look after 100 children than I am to look after a zoo!" Several years into their marriage, Jervy gives Judy Abbott the opportunity to renovate the John Greer Asylum into a perfect asylum as a Christmas present following Mrs. Lippitt's dismissal. Judy's best friend, Sally McBride, is chosen to take over the asylum. Sally, a wild Irish girl immersed in the pleasures of a luxurious life, finds herself trapped within the walls of "John Greer's Hell," forced to transform it into "heaven," and dealing with the asylum's mysterious and stubborn Scottish doctor—or rather, her "sworn enemy."
