Ivy Wynne was brought back to marry Julian Thorne in place of step-sister Mia Wynne. Under Wynne Family's neglect and suppression, she grew inferior. Julian Thorne returned. Faced with step-sister stealing affection, father forcing her to leave, and family schemes, Julian defended his wife and supported her painting dream. Ivy Wynne learned to resist, trust, and become independent, held an art exhibition, and ushered in a real marriage.
