“This excellent story, with well-researched historical detail, is a profile of resilience in the face of vast tragedy.” Publisher’s Weekly

1907: Former surgeon Tom Justice sits in a San Francisco jail on murder charges. The attorney hired to defend him is perplexed: the doctor hasn’t confessed to the crime—if there even was a crime—but why won’t he declare his innocence?
The reasons are complex, reaching back to Tom’s youth and influencing the decisions he makes about his career, friends, and loved ones. In one soul-defining moment, he makes a choice that will change his life forever.

Michaels’ historical fiction series, “The Golden City.” Other titles in the series include The Art of Love, The Depth of Beauty, The Promise, and Josephine's Daughter.

This is a story that's very well-written. It tells how a good man can even fool himself into thinking he's broken the law.
The personal interactions are so real.

It’s a touching love story that includes fascinating glimpses into the state of medicine at that time. It was a story that I couldn’t put down.
Relatable characters, historical setting
Both make for a good story.
