When Julia's father passes away, she is left alone and must learn to navigate the world on her own. She moves to New York City and begins to experience life in a way she never has before. Julia falls in love with a young man named Preston, but her father's former business partner, Mr. Butterworth, disapproves of their relationship and tries to interfere. Throughout the novel, Julia learns to assert herself and stand up for what she believes in, even in the face of opposition.
