The narrative centers around Sard Bogart, the daughter of a judge, who experiences the complexities of life in a small town, particularly as it relates to issues of justice, compassion, and personal morality. As Sard navigates her societal expectations and the harsh realities of the human condition, she becomes involved with a vagrant named Mr. Colter, whose plight compels her to confront the rigid societal laws that govern her life and the lives of those around her. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to a small town in the aftermath of a thawing winter, where Sard, driving through the streets, discovers a group of men mocking a disheveled vagrant. Her instinctive compassion leads her to intervene, highlighting themes of empathy and social responsibility. As she attempts to understand and assist Mr. Colter, who is lost and confused, Sard grapples with the judgment of society and the constraints of her own upbringing. This initial encounter sets the stage for exploring broader questions about law, morality, and human kindness, making it clear that Sard's journey will challenge the conventions of her world.
