In 1910, a missionary visitor arrives at Sophiny Mumm's convent
boarding school in Concord, Kansas. Sophiny is smitten. Her best
friend Antoinette Dominguez is not-and begins a series of strange
behaviors breaking all the rules. From Sophiny she extracts three
promises, a trunk exchange, and a staged fight before she elopes.
Shortly thereafter, Sophiny learns that the missionary is not who
he pretends to be and that her friend's elopement has resulted in a
mysterious disappearance. Antoinette's puzzling diary gives clues
about "guardians who cause us to lose our way." The missionary
reappears, and Sophiny is launched on a traveler's tale of her own
to search for her missing friend. In the investigation of puzzling
enigmas, Sophiny has to use all the resources of emerging women's
rights, family relationships, social networks, the new technologies
(telephone, photography, and transportation), and patron
saints.
