The story follows a young widow from Kentucky who embarks on a journey to Japan to teach in a mission school, seeking to rebuild her life after the loss of her husband.

At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the protagonist, who is apprehensive yet eager about her upcoming voyage to Japan. She grapples with feelings of loss, homesickness, and uncertainty about her future.
