Set in San Francisco at the turn of the 20th century, the novel tells the story of Charmian, a bold and ambitious woman whose life is forever changed when she meets young writer Jack London. From a broken picnic date to a devoted partnership as friend, confidante, editor, and companion. Their story is one of passion, resilience, and determination.
