'Portia says that being a successful wife and mother is most important of all. She is capable as she is beautiful--is at once an outstanding lawyer and a warm-hearted and simple home-loving woman. She is engaged in a constant struggle to stay out of professional life in order to make a home for her husband and her son, Dickie.
Walter Manning, a writer of great ability, truly loves Portia and Dickie, yet he finds a great deal of difficulty in settling down because of his love for the pace and excitement of high adventure.
Leslie Palmer, glamorous and talented, is the publisher of an important magazine. She is determined that Walter Manning leave the small town where he and Portia have made their home and return to the city. Her reasons are not purely business.'
