This sweeping epic follows young Fiona Finnegan's climb from the teeming streets of East London, a place she hopes to leave behind. But her dreams are shattered when her father -- a dockworker and union organizer -- is killed in an accident. Crushing poverty, the loss of her lifelong love, and the destruction of her family quickly follow.
When Fiona discovers that her father's death was no accident, but a murder engineered by a ruthless tea baron bent on destroying the union, she flees to New York to save her own life. There, the ghosts of her past propel her to the very top of the city's tea trade.
A decade later, armed with tremendous wealth, Fiona returns to London to reclaim her lost love and exact a breathtaking revenge.
