Whiteladies explores the story of two aging sisters Susan and Augustine Austin who live in an
old house and a former nunnery known as Whiteladies. At the story's beginning the house
belonged to their seriously ill nephew Herbert. Susan remained anxious that when Herbert dies
the estate will go to a cousin she despises and she and Augustine will lose their home. The
measures she takes to stop that from happening are revealed later in this gripping story.
