Maggie Chen's journalist father has fired her imagination with the
thrill of the newsroom, and when her father is killed, she is determined
to keep his dreams alive by interning at the newspaper.
While assisting on her first story, Maggie learns that her father is
suspected of illegal activity, and knows she must clear his name. Drawn
to Seattle's Chinatown, she discovers things that are far from what she
expected: secrets, lies, and a connection to the Chinese Exclusion Era.
Using all of her newspaper instincts and resources, Maggie is forced to
confront her ethnicity--and a family she never knew.
