When black cloaked Sarah Canary wanders into a railway camp in the
Washington territories in 1873, Chin Ah Kin is ordered by his uncle
to escort "the ugliest woman he could imagine" away. Far away. But
Chin soon becomes the follower. In the first of many such
instances, they are separated, both resurfacing some days later at
an insane asylum. Chin has run afoul of the law and Sarah has been
committed for observation. Their escape from the asylum in the
company of another inmate sets into motion a series of adventures
and misadventures that are at once hilarious, deeply moving, and
downright terrifying.
