The story follows Truletta "Trudy" Burrows, a spirited young woman navigating the complexities of love, ambition, and social status in a rapidly changing world. Set against the backdrop of a business environment, the narrative explores Trudy's desires to secure a prosperous future while grappling with her feelings for Steve O'Valley, who is romantically involved with the wealthy and glamorous Beatrice Constantine. At the start of the novel, the setting is established in the O'Valley Leather Company, where Trudy works as a secretary and expresses her aspirations for financial independence and an exciting lifestyle. The dynamics between Trudy, her practical friend Mary Faithful, and their colleagues reveal a social hierarchy and contrasting life choices. The opening introduces themes of ambition, societal expectations, and the pursuit of happiness, particularly through Trudy's determination to not end up like the meek and hardworking Mary. As Trudy critiques the lives of the privileged, especially Beatrice Constantine, the stage is set for a story intertwining personal growth and the challenge of securing both love and success in a competitive society.
