The book centers on the experiences of an imaginative and sensitive eleven-year-old girl named Beth Bristead who, after a simple and modest upbringing with her great-aunt in a New England village, suddenly finds herself spending a winter with her wealthy relatives in New York City. The story explores Beth’s adjustment to a world of luxury and new opportunities, highlighting her encounters with her new family, the changes in her daily life, and the enduring qualities of her character. The opening of the book introduces Beth as a gentle and honest child living under the practical but somewhat austere care of her Aunt Rebecca. Scenes of everyday country life, playful games, and musings about aprons, dresses, and make-believe give readers a sense of Beth’s imaginative spirit and longing for beauty and adventure. Beth’s life takes a dramatic turn when her rich uncle from New York invites her to spend the winter with his family. The subsequent chapters follow Beth as she prepares for her journey, travels to New York accompanied by a grand maid, and arrives at her uncle’s opulent home, where she is dazzled by comforts and luxuries beyond her dreams. She meets her kind and sophisticated Aunt Alida, her cousins, and becomes acquainted with city life, new routines, and the attentions of servants. The narrative focuses on Beth's wonder, gratitude, and adaptability as she navigates this enchanting yet overwhelming new world, while still cherishing her roots and the values instilled in her by Aunt Rebecca.
