Lives are lost, lives are shattered, but some rise from the ashes forever changed. Sophie Whalen is a young Irish immigrant so desperate to get out of a New York tenement that she answers a mail-order bride ad and agrees to marry a man she knows nothing about. San Francisco widower Martin Hocking proves to be as aloof as he is mesmerizingly beautiful. While Sophie quickly develops deep affection for Kat, Martin's silent five-year-old daughter, his odd behavior leaves her with the uneasy feeling that something about her newfound situation isn't right. Then one early-spring evening, a stranger at the door sets in motion a transforming chain of events. Sophie discovers hidden ties to two other women. The first, pretty and pregnant, is standing on her doorstep. The second is hundreds of miles away in the American Southwest, grieving the loss of everything she once loved. The fates of these three women intertwine on the eve of the devastating earthquake, thrusting them onto a perilous journey that will test their resiliency and resolve and, ultimately, their belief that love can overcome fear. From the acclaimed author of The Last Year of the War and As Bright as Heaven comes a gripping novel about the bonds of friendship and mother love, and the power of female solidarity"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, Calif., 1906 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Earthquakes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Natural disasters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mail order brides $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Irish fiction $z San Francisco. $z San Francisco. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 651 0 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Natural disasters $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Tremblement de terre de San Francisco, Calif., 1906 $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Tremblements de terre $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Catastrophes naturelles $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Mariage par correspondance $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Roman irlandais $0 (CaQQLa)201-0461879 $z San Francisco. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0461879 $z San Francisco. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0461879 650 6 $a AmitieÌ $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Friendship. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, Calif., 1906 $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Earthquakes $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Natural disasters $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Mail order brides $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Irish fiction $y California. $2 cct 650 7 $a Friendship $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Brides $v Fiction. $2 cct 651 7 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $2 cct 651 7 $a California $y San Francisco. $2 cct 650 7 $a Irish fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978981 650 7 $a Earthquakes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00900899 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Mail order brides. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01006065 650 7 $a Natural disasters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033994 651 7 $a California. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204928 651 7 $a California $z San Francisco. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204481 650 7 $a Friendships. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Earthquakes $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Natural disasters $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Brides $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Friendship $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $v Fiction. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1906 $2 fast 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Meissner, Susan, 1961- $t The nature of fragile things. $b First edition $d New York : Berkley, 2021 $z 9780451492203 $w (DLC) 2020022073 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230125084148.0 $n 16 $p + 1 LP 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=771075429CBC11ED82ACF1A3353FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
