The story

Theodora Lynn is a Sunday school teacher and former church organist in Lynnfield, Connecticut, raised by two spinster aunts, Mary and Elsie Lynn. She also happens to be, under the pen name Caroline Adams, the secret author of a sensational, bestselling book replete with sexual innuendo that has the straight-laced all-female Lynnfield Literary Circle in an uproar. The book is serialized in the local newspaper, and the Literary Circle, led by outraged busybody Rebecca Perry, forces the newspaper's owner Jed Waterbury to stop printing the salacious installments.
