When disaster strikes San Francisco in the early hours of April 18, 1906, the massive earthquake and resulting fires reshape countless lives. Among those caught in the chaos is Sophie Whalen, an Irish immigrant who came west as a mail-order bride seeking a fresh start away from her difficult past in New York.

Finding herself in a new marriage to a man she barely knows, Sophie bonds with his young daughter—though she soon recognizes troubling undercurrents in her new family. Just before the earthquake devastates the city, a mysterious visitor arrives, setting off a series of revelations that connect Sophie to two other women whose lives become unexpectedly intertwined. Through loss, displacement, and hardship, these three women discover how their resilience and personal connections might provide the strength to rebuild—not just their lives, but their sense of hope. READER’S TAKE “This is the first book our book club read together back in 2023. We all loved it. It was a great one to get us started. This author is amazing.” —Kara Humphrey
