She shares a room with her cousin Marian and a boy named Philip, who all seem to be dealing with the challenges of their lives in a less-than-ideal living situation. As they navigate their lessons and daily lives, the story hints at deeper family connections and possibilities for Nan’s future, especially when a fashionable visitor named Phyllis expresses a particular interest in her, suggesting that Nan's life may change in ways she cannot yet imagine.
