The story revolves around the lives of a family with several children, particularly focusing on a girl named Johnnie Carr, affectionately dubbed "Curly." The narrative explores themes of childhood, familial love, and the transition from youthful innocence to the complexities of growing up.  At the start of the book, we are introduced to Johnnie who is recovering from an illness that has changed her demeanor and physical appearance. As she grapples with feelings of inadequacy and longing for adventure, a visitor named Miss Inches arrives, claiming a familial connection and sparking new desires in Johnnie for a life of luxury and travel. The dynamics of Johnnie's family—her affectionate siblings and caring father—are revealed, creating a rich backdrop for her internal struggles as she contemplates the allure of being "adopted" by Miss Inches and the potential abandonment of her loved ones. This opening sets the stage for the various adventures and lessons that Johnnie will encounter as the story unfolds.
