Fifteen-year-old Mercy Wong is determined to break from the poverty of Chinatown, San Francisco in 1906,Â and an education at St. Clareâ€™s School for Girls is her best hope. Although St. Clareâ€™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 strongâ€”until disaster strikes.

On April 18, a historic earthquake rocks San Francisco, destroying Mercyâ€™s home and school. Now sheâ€™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 canâ€™t sit by while they wait for the army to bring helpâ€”she still has the â€œbossyâ€ 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?
