For the Salomon dynasty of San Francisco, 1900 is a time of rapid change, bitter conflict and potential catastrophe. At the heart of this remarkable family are daughter Rachel and her husband, Dr. Aidan McAuliffe-each entering the 20th century with a faith in the future, each with a calling that will be tested to the limit. He is a physician with a commitment to healing; she is a suffragist with a commitment to freedom.
