For her sixth novel (after A Light on the Veranda), Ware returns to historicals with an unlikely romance framed around San Francisco\'s devastating earthquake of 1906. New architect Amelia Bradshaw returns to the city to claim what\'s left of the Bay View, her grandfather\'s hotel next to Chinatown, only to find that her drunkard father has lost it to J.D. Thayer in a poker game. After an unsuccessful court battle鈥攁t a time when women had no right of possession鈥擝radshaw takes a job as junior architect under Julia Morgan, the first licensed female architect in California history. When Morgan\'s firm is selected to rebuild the Bay View, along with its competitor, the Fairmont, Bradshaw is put in charge of the former, forcing her to work closely with Mr. Thayer, her adversary, who is determined to beat the anniversary of the quake and the opening of the Fairmont. In time, Bradshaw and Thayer learn that they have more in common than they think, and Bradshaw grows close to some of the Chinese workers, giving Ware a chance to chronicle the despair faced by that community during the disaster. Ware\'s trailblazing woman is a feisty host for an affecting story of the struggle to rise above the wreckage of mankind.
