As she faces the trials of hiring a series of incompetent housemaids and the mischief caused by neighborhood boys, particularly Arlo Junior, Janice's determination to maintain her family's home life and her education shines through. The opening of the novel introduces Janice in her daily routine, marked by her early morning efforts to provide a proper breakfast for her father amidst the chaos caused by a neglectful housemaid.
