Margaret is the pampered daughter of a wealthy railroad magnate in early 20th century San Francisco. She's expected to be a gracious hostess and marry well but littleelse. However, her hearts desire is to serve the less fortunate. When she suspects that slave labor is being used to build therailroads that built her family's wealth she wants to help but how can she do that without getting hurt? Ezra is sent to San Francisco to prove himself to his father, owner of a newspaper empire. When he and Margaret meet there is potential but first they have to be brave enough to tell the truth. This story does a wonderful job of showing how the Chinese were mistreated and what it was like in San Francisco after the great earthquake. Watching Ezra and Margaret find their way and find each other made me smile. A satisfying read.
