The protagonist is Jane Ward, later Jane Ward Carver, and the story covers 37 years of her life. The story starts out in 1893 Chicago, with Jane aged 14 and the younger daughter of the very rich Ward family. Jane pushes against her strict and controlling mother, never more so than when Jane, now aged 17, falls into a whirlwind romance with a rich boy named Andre. Her parents put a stop to that romance and instead send Jane off to college at Bryn Mawr. Years roll by, as Jane flirts with feminism then accepts her gender role, eventually becoming a wife and mother, even as [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI The Great War]] breaks out, Prohibition undermines trust in the law, and America goes through wrenching changes.
