Although many people live their lives happily tied with a bow of complacency and routine, for some, that bow starts to unravel; and circumstances get out of hand. These very circumstances take them places they never thought they would go, surrounded by strangers theyd never thought theyd meet.

Welcome to Chicagos Chinatown, where whats below the surface of this bustling Asian community is a tightly guarded secret hidden from the thousands of tourist who visit each year.

Chicago native Scott West often visited this South Side landmark along with his mother and sister and regularly toured the citys attractions, primarily to escape their fathers drunken outbursts.

After graduation, Scott takes up residence in Chinatown, but this time, he becomes caught up in circumstances that quickly escalate into a tsunami of almost-crushing disaster.

This is the third book in her Chicago Series, the other ones being The Accidental King of Clark Street and Double or Nothing on Foster Avenue.
