Kun Lili-täti palaa Amerikan-matkaltaan, suvun naiset ihmettelevät hänen kertomuksiaan ja upeita vaatteitaan vuoroin ihastuneina, vuoroin kateellisina. Ainoastaan Helmi-tyttö ihailee tätiään ja tämän ihastuttavia, kahisevia silkkimekkoja täysin sydämin, eikä aikaakaan, kun Helmi muuttaa tädin jalanjäljissä rapakon taakse Minnesotaan Saint Paulin kaupunkiin. Elämä Amerikassa ei ole kuitenkaan pelkkää silkinkahinaa, vapautta ja ylellisyyttä niin kuin Helmi on ajatellut. Lisäksi kaunis suomalaistyttö on vaarassa vieraalla maaperällä.Suomalaistyttö Helmi seikkailee Amerikassa ennen ensimmäistä maailmansotaa ja kokee monenlaisia vastoinkäymisiä matkallaan.

Painted Fires , first published in 1925, narrates the trials and tribulations of Helmi Milander, a Finnish immigrant, during the years approaching the First World War. The novel serves as a vehicle for McClung's social activism, especially in terms of temperance, woman suffrage, and immigration policies that favour cultural assimilation. In her afterword, Cecily Devereux situates Painted Fires in the context of McClung's feminist fiction and her interest in contemporary questions of immigration and "e;naturalization."e; She also considers how McClung's representation of Helmi Milander's story draws on popular culture narratives.
