About This Book
The story follows Eveley, a spirited young woman who resists conventional obligations and sets out to define a single, personal duty. After leaving her sister's household, she becomes involved in civic and charitable efforts, joining clubs that promote Americanization and social service. Through comic misadventures and debates with friends, she encounters immigrants, activists, and a charming elevator operator named Angelo; these relationships test and reshape her ideas about loyalty, responsibility, and love. Episodes range from club politics and secret-service intrigue to inheritance surprises and romantic developments, as she learns to balance principle with compassion and proves her theory about duty while confronting an unexpected exception.
