<p>Inspired by female architect Julia Morgan, this is the riveting tale of a race against time to rebuild two luxury hotels after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake destroyed 400 city blocks and left 250,000 homeless.</p> <p>Morgan's fictional protegee Amelia Bradshaw and client J.D. Thayer will sacrifice anything to see the city they love rise from the ashes; in the process, they can't help but lose their hearts.</p> <p>Praise for Ciji Ware:</p> <p>"Ciji Ware is a master storyteller."<br> <i>-Libby's Library News</i></p> <p>"A great historical fiction author...Ciji Ware certainly knows how to touch hearts."<br> <i>-Reading Extravaganza</i></p>
