Sarah Bowers now a young lady of seventeen is anxious to have her portrait done by her dear friend Leland Davis. However Sarah is shocked and dismayed to find Leland's idea of a location is a windswept beach.

Her face framed by long-stemmed sea oats bowing gracefully in the sea breeeze becomes a point of interest in Leland's studio for years to come.
