Alice Adams is a sweet young woman, a charming coquette, not without intelligence and ambition. She lives in a modest house with her parents and dreams of the good life and great love. When "that Arthur Russell" appears on the horizon—an attractive, kind, gallant, and ideal suitor—Alice must do everything in her power to stay on top and conceal her family's dire financial situation. However, her father, Mr. Adams, harbors a secret that could elevate their family to the pinnacle of wealth. But at what cost?

The novel "Alice Adams" earned its author, Booth Tarkington, a Pulitzer Prize (his second; Tarkington received his first for The Magnificent Ambersons). It is an elegant story of love and disillusionment, a story of how a frivolous girl comes to understand true values and accept the world as it is.
