The story revolves around the character of Aunt Selina, an irritable old lady who is visited by her grand-niece, Ruth Talmage. Their relationship blossoms as they bond over plans for a charitable initiative to help poor children, reflecting themes of kindness, community service, and the transformative power of youth. At the start of the book, Aunt Selina is depicted as an unpleasant character, burdened by her ailments and a sense of isolation. Upon the arrival of her grand-niece Ruth, who is full of energy and ideas, Aunt Selina finds herself gradually uplifted. Ruth's enthusiasm for helping others ignites a change in Aunt Selina, leading her to contemplate how to use her estate for good, particularly by opening it up to underprivileged children. The opening sets the stage for themes of redemption and the powerful influence that love and companionship can have in overcoming bitterness and creating positive change.
