Faith Simpson exists at the dawn of the twentieth century into a dynasty that provides her everything she'll ever need - except her parents' love and attention. Often misunderstood, she trusts few as she matures on the family's manicured Long Island estate. Just twenty-nine mls away, on lower Manhattan's filthy, crowded streets, Desire Lee's 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. When she fits Faith, Desire has faced enough reduction to last a lifetime, and, like Beliefs, she has built an emotional wall to make it through. Compelled by the tragic bonds of completely different childhoods, they soon forge a solid alliance. But when Faith's father chooses Desire as his protégé, and, even worse, both Beliefs and Hope show up in love with the same man, resentment and betrayal threaten their bond. Found in the tumult of World Battle I, Wall Block, union fights, and changing women's jobs, these two astonishing women find that true fortune can not be bought or sold.
