To assist the Prices with their large family of young children, Sir Thomas Bertram, owner of Mansfield Park, undertakes the charge of their eldest daughter Fanny, a quiet girl of ten. By her gentle and modest disposition, she gradually becomes an indispensable part of the household. Yet, silent witness to the outrageous flirtations of other members of the family, Fanny carries a hidden passion - for one who may never appreciate her true value, sensibility and capacity for affection.
