Unmarried at 29 and passionate about her work as an advocate for the indigent women of New York, Temperance O'Neil has never thought of herself as an old maid. But in 1909, not many people share Temperance's enlightened attitude. Her Scottish stepfather Angus, for one, has very old-fashioned ideas about how a well-bred woman should lead her life, and he threatens to cut off her allowance unless she moves to Scotland to live beneath his watchful eye. When she arrives at her uncle's, he gives her a new job: she is to find a proper wife for Angus's hotheaded, kilt-wearing nephew, James. At first, Temperance thinks the task impossible. Who would marry the boorish James? But soon, she realizes that the object of her search might be the woman in the mirror.
