About this listen

In hurricane-ravaged Galveston, a storm of betrayal is brewing.

Nineteen-year-old Grace's golden age is just beginning. She and her mother live a privileged life. Beautiful and talented, Grace is looking forward to a pleasant summer celebrating her engagement to a wealthy young gentleman.

But when her lovely, charming, and disgraced cousin Etta arrives, Grace finds her place in society - and in her mother's heart - threatened. Etta enchants everyone as she maneuvers to secure a station in Galveston's upper echelons. Grace, in a reckless moment, reveals Etta's scandalous past, and as punishment, she's sent to work in Galveston's back alleys, helping the poor. There, a silent waif known only as Miss Girl opens Grace's eyes to new love and purpose. She's determined to save this girl who lost her entire family in the hurricane and now slips along the shadows of the unfinished seawall with a mysterious resolve.

Soon, the lives of the three young women will converge as betrayal, mistaken identity, and a family secret that sweeps them toward a future that defies all expectations.

The book that goes no where

I kept waiting for a resolution, it never occurred. Ethereal characters but without substance. Why?

Very different approach to a hurricane.

The story line was a little had to get into. But once that was set the story was very moving and interesting...I highly recommend this book!

No ending.

I was really interested in this book because I have visited Galveston and studied about the hurricane that hit in 1900. The story was a little slow but, good descriptions of what was going on after the hurricane and building the wall. The narrator was ok. It seemed there was a consistent rise and fall with every sentence that got irritating at times. The thing I disliked about this book was the ending. There were 4 main characters and the book ended without ever disclosing what really happened in any of their lives. I was really disappointed!

Historical Fiction from the Gulf Coast of Texas

Having lived in the Gulf Coast I enjoyed this book that takes place primarily in Galveston in the early 1900's after the hurricane of 1900. The story follows three of it's main characters: Grace, Etta and The Girl. Grace and Etta are cousins but there is animosity throughout the story which reveals truths. The Girl is an orphan from the hurricane who loses her voice and lives off the streets until Grace comes upon her and attempts to help her. All three young women encounter misfortune and grow throughout the story. The narrator brings the characters to life.
