She falls in love with a young man named Jack, but their relationship is complicated by social conventions and Cicely's own insecurities. Despite her many flaws, Cicely is a sympathetic character, and the reader is drawn into her story as she struggles to find her place in the world.Cometh Up As A Flower is notable for its frank portrayal of women's lives in the 19th century.
