The story revolves around a young mother and her delicate daughter, Marjorie, who move to California in hopes of bettering her child's health. As they adjust to their new environment, they encounter various characters, including the charming yet manipulative Mrs. Sanderson, whose influence complicates their lives as Marjorie begins to flourish in the warm climate. The opening of the novel introduces the central characters, focusing on the mother's despair over her daughter's illnesses and her determination to seek a healthier life in California. The journey becomes a turning point for both, as Marjorie shows signs of recovery, fostering hope in her mother. As they settle in, the attention they receive from those around them, particularly Mrs. Sanderson and her son Sidney, begins to blur the lines of friendship and manipulation. The tale promises to explore themes of love, ambition, and the complexities of social relationships, particularly as Mariposilla, a Spanish girl, faces her own struggles with identity and cultural expectations amidst a world intent on entertaining and exploiting her beauty.
