Mildred and Charlie Landreth, the proud parents of a baby boy, have settled into quiet domestic life. An invitation from cousins Horace and Elsie to visit the Oaks, near Roselands, brings Charlie, Mildred, and her youngest sister, Annis, to spend the winter in the sunny South. Family gatherings, studies, visits to Ion, daily walks, and pony rides fill up Annis and Mildred's days before the visitors return home.

The Landreths and Annis meet Aunt Wealthy in Philadelphia on their way home from the Oaks and complete their journey with her at their side. Mildred and Zillah, her sister, welcome daughters into their homes and learn much about raising children. Don and Rupert, Mildred's brothers, heed the call to "Go West, young man!" When they are attacked by Indians, the Keith family mourns their likely loss but rejoices in the knowledge that if they are dead they are in a far better place with the Lord.
