About the Show

In Ancestors, Flora, the daughter of a clergyman, navigates the complexities of class and relationships. Though she grew up alongside the castle children, she quickly learns that her beauty and good upbringing do not guarantee her a place among them. With her fathers sudden passing leaving her facing the harsh realities of poverty and the prospect of having to earn her own living, Floras life takes an unexpected turn. As she becomes a companion to Lady Victoria Gwynne, she encounters an American cousin on a quest to uncover their shared ancestry, leading her on a journey of self-discovery and unexpected revelations. – Summary by Lynne Thompson
