It follows the journey of the title character, Beth Norvell, a struggling actress in a traveling theater troupe, as she navigates the challenges of her profession and encounters Winston, a young man with a mysterious background. The story likely explores themes of ambition, art, and the complexities of personal relationships amid the backdrop of the American West. "The opening of the book introduces the reader to Beth and a group of actors who are part of the "Heart of the World" theater troupe, as well as Winston, who arrives in town exhausted and curious about the strange young woman he inadvertently discovers in a hotel room." As Winston gazes upon Beth, he feels an emotional connection but initially chooses to respect her privacy. Their paths cross as he learns more about her role in the theater and begins to contemplate joining the troupe himself. This sets the stage for their evolving relationship, marked by Winston's admiration for Beth's talent and determination, while hinting at deeper complications related to both their pasts and the rough life of traveling performers.
