The story is set around the characters living in the village of Franconia, focusing primarily on the life of Mary Erskine, a young orphan who navigates the challenges of her early adulthood as she matures into a responsible woman. The book emphasizes themes of domestic life, character development, and moral teachings through everyday events and interactions. The opening of the story introduces a group of children including Malleville and her cousin Phonny, who are excited about visiting Mary Erskine's home. This visit promises to be an adventure as they prepare for a trip to her farm, accompanied by another character named Beechnut. The narrative conveys a joyful atmosphere, highlighting the children’s innocence and curiosity, while laying the groundwork for Mary Erskine’s character, who has struggled with the loss of her parents but remains a beacon of kindness and resilience.
