The story follows the life of Miss Abigail Brewster, a wealthy and well-bred young woman living in a small New England town. Abigail is a bit of a snob, and she is determined to marry a man of her own social standing. But when she meets the handsome and charming Captain John Breen, a sailor from a lower class background, she finds herself drawn to him despite her better judgment. Abigail and John's relationship is tested by the disapproval of her family and friends, and by John's own struggles with his past. As the two of them try to make their way in the world, they must learn to overcome their differences and find a way to be together. The Aristocratic Miss Brewster is a charming and romantic story of love and class, and of the power of true love to overcome all obstacles.

First lines

All day it had rained and all day the wind had blown savagely from the northeast. The last yellow, desperately clinging leaf had been whipped from the silver-leaf poplar by the front gate and the two tall elms in the yard were naked skeletons of limbs and twigs, which rasped and scraped against each other as the gusts twisted them. All day the gutters had roared and the windowpanes streamed. Now, at five o'clock of this afternoon in November, 1904, the rain had ceased, but the wind blew almost as hard as ever.
