About This Book

The narrative follows Ida, the devoted daughter and model of an accomplished but skeptical sculptor, as she navigates friendships, moral and religious differences, and romantic entanglement with Theodore Tregoning. Episodes trace her growing self-knowledge in the studio, an alarming illness that threatens her sight, periods of patient endurance and schooling, and complications around betrothal and social expectation. After family losses and the father's departure, Ida's loyalty and courage are tested through misunderstandings, crises, and reconciliations, culminating in personal sacrifice, the resolution of obligations, and the approach of a wedding that promises restored ties.
