Abby Wallace freely swims at a private pool hosted by her domineering father Norman Wallace in Fairton.

Abby’s social circle includes Madge Duncan and Barry Lambert as they mingle at the Wallace estate with art, flirtation, and unspoken rivalries.

Abby defends her duty to her aging father, saying she must stay home rather than join Madge’s social plans. She hides her despair, acknowledging her father’s desire for her presence despite his independence.

Abby Desires Independence From Her Busy Father

A fragmentary portrait follows Abby as a quiet boarding school student with an unusually attached bond to her distant, art-obsessed father. She grows up within his shadow, travels Europe, and struggles with reliance on one parent while navigating pressure from peers and a wary romance with Barry, her mother's wary son.
