A young woman immigrant from Ireland answers an advertisement for a wife/mother to his young daughter in order to escape the tenements of NYC. She travels to San Francisco - 1906. Sophie settles into a safe routine with her new husband and falls in love with his five year old daughter and hopes for feelings to grow between her and her husband. When a very pregnant young woman arrives on her doorstep the world changes. And the following morning, the world changed for all of San Francisco with the epic earthquake and subsequent fires. Hidden secrets from the past and the present send life reeling for so many people. Very good read.
