Faith Simpson is born at the dawn of the twentieth century into a dynasty that gives her everything she will ever needβexcept her parentsβ love and attention. Often misunderstood, she trusts few as she grows up on the familyβs manicured Long Island estate. Just twenty- nine miles away, on lower Manhattanβs dirty, crowded streets, Hope Leeβs world is one of poverty and desperation. The scrappy child of hard-working Irish and Chinese immigrants has learned to fend for herself, until a terrible disaster thrusts her into a strange, new world of privilege.
