The story follows Sylvia Fulton, a ten-year-old girl from Boston, who is living in Charleston, South Carolina, just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. Through Sylvia's experiences, the book delves into themes of friendship, regional tensions, and the complexities surrounding slavery as Sylvia navigates her new life and the unkindness of her peers.  At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Sylvia, who is settling into her new surroundings and forming friendships with local girls, like Grace Waite and Flora Hayes. As she attends a school that is sharply divided along regional lines, Sylvia faces hostility because of her Northern origins, particularly from Elinor Mayhew, who taunts her with the label "Yankee." The opening chapters depict Sylvia's initial school experiences, her joy in discovering her name in a song, and the challenges she faces as tensions escalate regarding Fort Sumter, setting the stage for her adventures and the moral dilemmas she will confront as the story unfolds.
