Author: Karen Barnett
San Francisco begins from the ashes of a devastating earthquake, and an age-old battle looms between corruption and the promise of new beginnings. Don’t miss the third and final book, Through the Shadows, in Karen Barnett’s The Golden Gate Chronicles. Putting her life on the line for a worthy cause is admirable. But opening her heart is even more terrifying. So when Elizabeth meets attorney, Charles McKinley—a man who dreams of reforming San Francisco’s crooked politics—Elizabeth begins to doubt: Can she maintain her pretense and hide her past? Or will her secret jeopardize both their futures?

As San Francisco rises from the ashes, an age-old battle looms between corruption and the promise of new beginnings.
The devastating earthquake is just two years past, but the city of San Francisco is still trying to recover. Destruction of this magnitude is not so easy to overcome-and neither are the past regrets shadowing Elizabeth King’s hopeful future.
Hoping to right her wrongs, Elizabeth dedicates herself to helping girls rescued from slavery in Chinatown brothels, even if it means putting her own life at risk to sneak through the gloomy alleys and rooftops where dangers lurk.

My review;
Who has never heard about the horrible earthquake that took place in San Francisco or the fires that came after? Elizabeth King finds herself two later still trying to recover. She has to do this alone and is not looking for any new friends. She spends her time trying to help as many young women as she can to get out of the brothels in Chinatown. Charles McKinley is an attorney that who also is trying to help people in need. She knows that there can be no future for them especially after he learns about her past. What will happen if he ever finds out? Will he forgive her? But, they start to get closer and she gets more afraid. What should she do? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review and these are my opinions.
