Elspeth and her unconventional parents decide to settle down in Kenya and begin a coffee plantation. This is a time of discovery for Elspeth, as she encounters the incredible beauty and cruelty of nature, and new friendships with both Africans and British expatriates.

Eventually, however, the excitement of Elspeth's life is disrupted by the onset of WW I, and the changes it brings.
