Jean Jardine is twenty-three, going on fifty. But she doesn't mind at all. Her mission in life is to look after her brothers in their happy Scottish Borders home of Priorsford, a town just big enough to be respectable. Jean has all she could want in life. After all, not all orphaned siblings are blessed to carry on their lives in such an especially homey cottage as The Rigs, with its garden wall, and creek bridge, and attentive neighbors—who see that Jean's artlessness is more charming than she knows, and that a heart like hers that loves simple pleasures is bound to be made happy.
