The story centers around Janet Summerhayes, a young governess embarking on a new chapter in her life as she leaves the safety of her childhood home to navigate the complexities of her new position in a family she barely knows. The novel explores themes of independence, expectations of women during that era, and the contrasts between social classes. The opening of the novel introduces Janet as she prepares to leave her sheltered life at the vicarage, filled with well-wishing from the vicar and his wife. They express both concern and care for her as she steps into an uncertain future. Unlike the typical portrayal of governesses in literature, Janet is optimistic and full of hope, viewing her transition into the role as an exciting adventure rather than a daunting task. Throughout the beginning, she humorously reflects on her assumptions about the new family she will be joining and their dynamics, hinting at both the challenges and victories that await her in her new life at Mrs. Harwood's household.
