The book explores the rich tapestry of life in colonial Narragansett, Rhode Island, revealing a mix of rustic tales, traditions, and family chronicles that reflect the area's unique character. The author delves into the lives of the Narragansett planters and their communities, where social life intertwined with the influences of the Narragansett Indians, African slaves, and English customs.  At the start of the narrative, Earle provides a detailed foreword introducing the historical context of Old Narragansett. She captures the essence of the region's past, discussing its early governance, the wealth of its planter families, and the diverse cultural influences that shaped its social fabric. The opening chapter introduces Rowland Robinson, a wealthy planter known for his imperious demeanor and benevolent nature, establishing the foundation for a series of interconnected stories that explore both the romantic and harsh realities of life in this picturesque land. The early romance of his daughter, Hannah, reveals the societal constraints and personal struggles faced by individuals within this colonial community, setting the stage for the tales of love and tragedy that follow.
