Description
San Francisco, 1916, was a city in turmoil. Radical workers clashed with industrial barons, while an anarchist community thrived amidst the chaos. As Europe's war raged on, the US teetered on the brink of entering the conflict. Amidst this maelstrom, two individuals arrived in the city: Kate Jameson, a novice envoy from Washington, and Baldo Cavanaugh, a Sicilian-Irish man with militant beliefs. Kate was searching for her wayward daughter, Maggie, who had last been in touch from San Francisco. She also hoped to find the ghost of her husband, Jamey, who had returned to the city after his time in the Philippines. Meanwhile, Baldo Cavanaugh, a man haunted by his past, found himself drawn into the city's turmoil once more. As their paths converged, they became embroiled in the complexities of the city and nation. This novel offers a vivid portrayal of San Francisco during a pivotal moment in history, where personal struggles intersect with the deeply political.
