Joanne Miller lives of an "accidental" Madame who chooses freedom over respectability and a Chinese scholar who defies a city bent on destroying him. This unusual family saga is based on real people and events the experiences of Joanne's Chinese relatives and a real-life Irish girl who became a notorious--and unapologetic--Madame during San Francisco's wide-open golden era. Sex, murder, clever women, true love of every stripe, and an earthquake--that's Shaketown.
