At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the picturesque setting of Askatoon, where the vibrant and lively character of Kitty Tynan emerges singing joyfully. Kitty, a girl marked by her beauty and aspirations, becomes entwined in Crozier's life—whose past involvement with a wife he has not seen in years looms over him.
