The story revolves around the Kenway sisters—Ruth, Agnes, Tess, and Dot—who face the challenges of life after their mother's death and the financial struggles that come with it.

The opening of the novel introduces the Kenway sisters in their cramped, bustling flat, where they handle household duties and take care of one another. As they prepare to go on an errand, their daily life is depicted with warmth and humor, highlighting their close bond and resourcefulness. Soon, they encounter the grave news of Uncle Peter's death and are told of their inheritance, transitioning their lives from poverty to the possibilities that come with their new property. Their initial excitement is tinged with uncertainty about their future, especially regarding the mysterious and peculiar nature of their new home, the Old Corner House, which is rumored to be haunted. This sets the stage for the sisters to embark on a journey of discovery and growth in their new surroundings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
