Eleanor yearns for bigger things than her North Carolina fishing village can offer, and with the encouragement of a progressive teacher, Miss Rosalie, Eleanor determines to find her "chosen path" by pursuing her education. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story spans Eleanor's adolescence, balancing her natural romantic urges and her desire to be an "independent woman" with honesty and insight.
