Kate Lancaster and her friend leave Boston to spend a summer in the Brandon house at Deephaven, a fading seaport on the Maine coast. They visit the lighthouse, the retired sea captains, the Widow Jim, and odd, proud country people such as Mrs. Bonny, and record a vanishing way of life. Further stories and sketches follow.
