Margaret Gilbert is the type of person who doesn’t do anything half-way, so when she sees how the Chinese are being treated in San Francisco in 1909, she's determined to make a difference. The problem is her father is owner of the railroad that employs these workers, and, as a woman, no one listens to Margaret. When Ezra Pendleton, a newspaper editor, comes to dinner, she comes up with a plan to write articles for him anonymously. Thankfully, her brother, Harry, supports her. However, when her plans put her into messy situations and her interest in Ezra grows, has she jeopardized her chance for happiness with deceit?I loved this book and found the story and characters quickly pulled me in. I came across about three awkward sentences, and I question that cravats were still being worn in 1909, but otherwise this was a great read that was clean and enjoyable.
