In this sequel to A Sea So Far, Kate returns from Ireland to San Francisco and opens a small shop with her friend Ellen. The novel is a bit overpopulated with characters and not all of the subplots are fully developed, but Kate and Ellen are well portrayed and the book does a good job showing the limited options for young career women in the early part of the twentieth century.
