The main character, Mrs. Belle Farrell, is a beautiful young widow who captivates those around her, particularly a promising artist named Rachel Woodward, who struggles with her emerging talent against societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to West Pekin, a rural place that has transitioned into a summer boarding town. It describes the farming community's adjustments to accommodate city guests and the various personalities that emerge within this setting, particularly focusing on the dynamics among the boarders and the family that owns the boarding house.
