Marion Draper was a rebel with just cause against the stifling conventions of her time.

In the oppressive world of the Victorian middle class, wives and daughters were expected to live as respectful cabbages and always to obey papa’s dictates. The Draper family - father, mother, and their two daughters - were no exception. Given virtually no education, discouraged from independent striving and rigidly separated from ‘undesirable’ social contacts, Marion Draper had much to rebel against.
High-spirited and intelligent, the squashing of her natural personality led to inevitable consequences - an illicit friendship with a young man which quickly developed into a passionate love affair.
After a traumatic series of events, her lover is revealed in his true worthless light. Breaking free of him, she has a glimpse of real freedom and emancipation; but the sight is illusory and she struggles, like a pinned butterfly, against destiny’s grip.
