It centers around three sisters, Primrose, Jasmine, and Daisy Mainwaring, who experience the transformative challenges that come after the death of their mother. The story explores themes of resilience, family bonds, and the quest for independence as the sisters navigate their new life marked by financial difficulties and the necessity of earning a living. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the sisters, whose lives change drastically following the unexpected death of their mother. Each girl has her own distinct personality: Primrose is calm and sensible, Jasmine is spirited and romantic, and Daisy, the youngest, is sweet and innocent. The narrative delves into their early days of loss as they seek to adjust to their circumstances, grappling with grief while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy.
