This book follows Moira Sanderson, a young woman raised in the Western world, on her journey back to the South Sea island nation of Atui, which happens to be her birthplace. Having been sent to the United States for her education, Moira returns as a young woman with her college education and high hopes of revolutionizing the island. Upon her return, she finds that Atui has changed dramatically under the rule of her father, Thomas Sanderson, a ruthless and wealthy trader. Seeking to civilize the nation, he has built a new city lined with shops, churches, hospitals, and other modern conveniences. However, the conditions for the natives and the moral fabric of the island as a whole have degraded under his leadership. Moira grapples with the many changes to her homeland and struggles to reconcile her fond memories with its harsh realities. Siding with the people of Atui and their suffering at the hands of her own family, Moira fights against her father's reign to restore peace and prosperity to the island.
