Country girl Mandy Culpepper is only fifteen when she's orphaned and brought under the protection of the Firestone name.

Following their own divergent paths, Mandy and Will are caught up in the rising tension between city power brokers and the reviled foreigners.

The Golden City Has Its Secrets.
A 2017 RITA Finalist in Mainstream Fiction

Country girl Mandy Culpepper is only fifteen when she's orphaned and brought under the protection of the Firestone name.
