Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

San Francisco, 1906: Fifteen-year-old Mercy Wong was determined to save her brother Jack from the squalor of Chinatown. That's why St. She set out to study at Clare Girls' School. St. Petersburg does not accept students except the daughters of wealthy families. Although Clare was too far out of her reach, Mercy managed to get herself accepted into the school through cunning and bribery. But that was the easy part. Because while Mercy was struggling to cope with the students of the school, a disaster occurred.

On April 18, San Francisco was shaken by a historic earthquake. Mercy's home and school were destroyed. Since martial law was imposed, he was forced to wait for his friends' families in a temporary camp. But even as the flames roared and the city became a battlefield, Mercy would not wait for the army to bring help. But what could a young girl do to heal the suffering and loss in her ruined city?
