The narrative unfolds the lives of young girls in a Providence setting, focusing on themes of Christian education, compassion, and the moral influences that shape their character. The story particularly revolves around Lucy Raymond and her friends, who navigate the complexities of friendship, poverty, and faith amidst their daily lives. At the start of the book, Mary Preston, a devoted Sunday school teacher, faces her last day of teaching before moving on to a new chapter in her life. She reflects on her time with her class comprising Lucy Raymond, Bessie Ford, and the newcomer Nelly Connor, each representing diverse backgrounds and struggles. Through heartfelt interactions, Miss Preston imparts her earnest teachings about faith and morality to her students, recognizing the profound influence she has had on their lives. The opening portion establishes a foundation for the themes of compassion and the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus, particularly as Lucy feels a stirring desire to support Nelly, who comes from a troubled home environment. The narrative invites readers to consider the impact of circumstance on faith and growth, particularly in the lives of children. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
