The Inheritance (1997)

Nestled within the verdant embrace of the Evenswood estate in Concord, Massachusetts, resides the stunning orphan, Edith Adelon. Though she is a paid companion to Amy Hamilton, the daughter of the affluent Hamilton clan, she is embraced as a cherished member of their fold. In a twist of fate years ago, Edith was rescued from an Italian orphanage by Henry Hamilton, honoring a request left by his late brother. Now intertwined in the Hamilton family's world, Edith plays the dual role of Amy's dear friend and confidante. As the eventful Greens Cup horse race approaches, Beatrice Hamilton tasks Edith with an unusual mission - to find an eligible husband for their cousin, Ida Glenshaw, from among two visiting bachelors. However, as both young men find themselves ensnared by Edith's charm, a tempest of jealousy is unleashed, giving birth to a web of deceit and bitter rivalry. Amidst this chaos, a blossoming love between Edith and one of her suitors threatens to tip the scales. Society's harsh rules remind them of their diverging paths - their love, though passionate, is forbidden due to their disparate social standings. 'The Inheritance' is a poignant narrative of a young woman's journey to navigate her complex role within the Hamilton household and society. It is a tale of love that transcends boundaries and the struggles one must endure when love is caught in the crossfire of societal norms.
