The book follows the aspirations of Peggy Lane, a young girl determined to pursue a career in acting despite her parents' concerns about her happiness and future. It explores themes of ambition, the artistic world, and the delicate balance between parental guidance and personal dreams. The opening of the story sets the stage for Peggy’s heartfelt plea to her parents about her desire to go to New York and study acting. As her father and mother weigh their concerns against Peggy's passion, she presents a compelling argument for why waiting is not an option for her. After a tense discussion, they come to a compromise that allows her to pursue her dreams for a year while also ensuring she has a backup plan. The narrative then paints a vivid picture of Peggy’s hometown, Rockport, and her mixed feelings about leaving it behind. As she embarks on her journey, the reader is introduced to her hopes and fears, setting the stage for her adventures in the theater world that lie ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
