The book centers on the experiences of a little girl named Bessie Bell, whose memories and dreams intertwine with her present life in a convent setting. It explores themes of identity, belonging, and the innocent perceptions of childhood, as Bessie navigates her longing for familial connections amid a backdrop of illness and change. In the story, Bessie Bell's journey presents a blend of her recollections and her enigmatic surroundings. She recalls vague, dream-like memories of a grand house and a large white cat, reflecting her childhood innocence and the effects of being separated from family due to a fever epidemics. The narrative unfolds as Bessie interacts with Sisters who care for her and the other little girls, all while she yearns to understand the concepts of "Mama" and "family." Her life takes a significant turn as she moves to the High Mountain, meeting children who are completely different from the ones in her convent. The story builds to a poignant reunion when she discovers that the wise woman she has met, who understands her fragmented memories, is her mother, leading to a heartfelt conclusion filled with hope and joy.
