The main character, Harriet, is so strong in character and so admirable and self-reliant. She enters into a marriage of convenience with Joseph and starts a new life homesteading in New Zealand. The gold rush occurs and Joseph becomes obsessed with striking it rich. As Joseph spirals downward, Harriet is able to be true to herself and rise above his baseness.
