I really liked this story. It is set in the mid 1800s.  A young Black woman and her friend make their way to California to open up a laundry shop and restaurant and start a new life.  The young man is a non-English speaking Chinese immigrant working on the railroads.  They meet and there's an instant connection even though there is a language barrier.  I like how they get to know one another.  There are hardships, as one would expect, because both of these people experienced prejudice at this point in time.
