The story is set in a warm, inviting atmosphere centered around the June Holiday Home, a residence for elderly women, where the young and spirited Polly Dudley, a daughter of a doctor, interacts with the diverse residents, bringing joy and kindness into their lives. The narrative explores themes of friendship, humor, and the challenges faced by those living in the Home, particularly focusing on Polly's relationship with Miss Juanita Sterling, a resident struggling with her health.
