Matilda is a poor flower seller in Victorian London when an act of courage binds her future to the child Tabitha. Seeking a life beyond the slums, she crosses the Atlantic and enters New York, where poverty and exploitation differ from London’s but are no less dangerous.
Her journey continues through the western plains to San Francisco during the Gold Rush and the upheaval of the American Civil War. Matilda’s intelligence and determination allow her to build a new life, while her relationship with Captain James Russell must survive distance, violence and the demands of a rapidly changing country.
