Plot summary
Theodora Lynn teaches Sunday school in Lynnfield, Connecticut, and lives with her aunts Mary and Elsie. The town's Literary Circle, led by Rebecca Perry, is in an uproar over a scandalous bestseller, The Sinner. Theodora wrote it under the pen name Caroline Adams, and her editor, Arthur Stevenson, and his secretary are the ones who know her identity; her Uncle John knows about the book. She travels to New York on the pretext of visiting her uncle and instead goes to Stevenson's office. Michael Grant, who illustrated the book, overhears the truth about her, gets himself invited to dinner, and watches her, tired of his assumptions, order a whiskey and drink too much. Michael later follows her to Lynnfield.
