The book follows the adventures of the Pepper family as they embark on a journey overseas, exploring their experiences and interactions in foreign lands.

The opening of the novel introduces us to Polly Pepper searching for her younger sister, Phronsie, on a steamer headed for Europe. Polly feels anxious about losing Phronsie, especially since Phronsie's caregiver has fallen ill.
