The opening portion of the novel introduces Aspasia, detailing her background and current situation.
Abandoned as a baby, she was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs, who had no children of their own. As she grows older, Aspasia grapples with her identity, societal expectations, and the failings of her family.
