The story explores the life of Sophronisba "Sophy" Smith, who unexpectedly inherits Hynds House in South Carolina from her Great-Aunt Sophronisba Scarlett, an aging woman with a fierce reputation. The narrative touches on themes of family legacy, societal expectations, and personal identity, as Sophy, alongside her friend Alicia Gaines, navigates the complexities of her new home and their place within the conservative community of Hyndsville.
