From the author of the critically acclaimed Under a Painted Sky, an
unforgettable story of determination set against a backdrop of
devastating tragedy. Perfect for fans of Code Name Verity. Winner
of the PEN Center USA Literary Award for Young Adult Winner of the
Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature Fifteen-year-old Mercy
Wong is determined to break from the poverty of Chinatown, San
Francisco in 1906, and an education at St. Clare's School for Girls
is her best hope. Although St. Clare's is off-limits to all but the
wealthiest white girls, Mercy gains admittance through a mix of
cunning and a little bribery, only to discover that getting in was
the easiest part. Not to be undone by a bunch of spoiled heiresses,
Mercy stands strong--until disaster strikes. On April 18, a
historic earthquake rocks San Francisco, destroying Mercy's home
and school. Now she's forced to wait with her classmates for their
families in a temporary park encampment. Though fires might rage,
and the city may be in shambles, Mercy can't sit by while they wait
for the army to bring help--she still has the "bossy" cheeks that
mark her as someone who gets things done. But what can one teenage
girl do to heal so many suffering in her broken city?
