A Paltry Kin

The pregnant young princess loses her beloved husband in the war. Now the widow is forced to manage not only the children but also the family estate on her own. The well-being of many people, starting from her children and ending with her peasants, wholly depends on the wise decisions of Varvara Nikanorovna Protozanova. But even a person with an open heart, sharp mind, and steady hand cannot avoid mistakes and worries. The measured provincial life is struck by harsh life storms. The only daughter is burdened by her mother. A new friend turned out to be capable of betrayal. Long-standing principles and dreams, which were the main guiding light, shattered against true sanctity.
