The story is set against the backdrop of post-Civil War California and follows the life of an eleven-year-old girl named Lee Tarleton, who navigates the challenges of growing up in a boarding house after the death of her mother. The narrative explores themes of societal expectations, personal ambition, and the complexities of youth relationships as Lee interacts with a range of characters, including her mother’s friends and her burgeoning friendship with an English boy named Cecil. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Lee and her mother, Mrs. Tarleton, as they cope with the aftermath of the Civil War and their subsequent economic decline. Lee is portrayed as a responsible yet imaginative child who plays a crucial caregiving role for her ailing mother. Her interactions with the bustling atmosphere of San Francisco provide a vivid picture of urban life during the 1880s. The story takes a turn when her mother passes away, leading to Lee's transition into a life that is dependent on the kindness of her mother’s acquaintances. Notably, the arrival of Cecil Maundrell introduces elements of friendship and potential romance, while also setting the stage for Lee’s journey in search of identity and belonging in a rapidly changing society.
