In the beginning, their teacher, Mary Preston, prepares to leave but looks back on teaching Lucy, Bessie, and Nelly. Miss Preston's lessons touch on faith and doing what's right. The reader sees Lucy wants to help Nelly, who has problems at home. The novel shows how a kid's faith and development can be affected by what's going on in their world.
