In a quiet city neighborhood known simply as the Street, young nurse Sidney Page struggles between professional ambition, family responsibilities, and the expectations placed on women around her. Her path becomes closely tied to Dr. K, a mysterious lodger whose modest circumstances conceal a very different past. Crime, illness, romance, and sacrifice gradually expose the hidden connections among the Street’s residents. Mary Roberts Rinehart combines domestic fiction with mystery and melodrama in a novel about identity, vocation, and the consequences of judging people by the lives they appear to lead.
