The story unfolds in San Diego during a time of disease and turmoil, focusing on the life of Elizabeth "Liz" Fellows, the devoted daughter of a doctor, as she navigates the challenges of her profession amidst a deadly epidemic. Liz is portrayed as a compassionate and capable woman, dedicating herself to caring for the sick and confronting issues of social stigma, especially as she witnesses the struggles of the local community. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Liz as she contemplates the oppressive heat and mounting despair in her surroundings. As she interacts with the local population—particularly the grieving mothers affected by the fever—Liz's resilience and empathy shine through. Her relationship with her father, Dr. Fellows, is both supportive and complicated by his own melancholy. The tension escalates further when Liz is confronted with scandal and the secrets of her father's past, hinting at a deeper theme of shame that intertwines with the personal and societal struggles present in their lives. As Liz grapples with love and loyalty amidst turmoil, the narrative sets the stage for a rich exploration of personal sacrifice and societal judgment.
