Martha Bright, born 1908, is too tall, too strong, too wrong for the world she was born into. Her parents gave her away and bought a son instead.
Emma, the orphanage cook, teaches Martha to survive through hard work. Emma gives Martha purpose -- until one night when everything changes.
At fifteen, Martha needs a new name and a new life. She becomes Mary Johnson and disappears onto the Atlantic steamships, where women like her can work unseen in the belly of the ship.
But survival requires more than a new identity. Follow Mary through a dark psychological thriller as she discovers who she really is, where she fits -- and what her hands are capable of when pushed too far.
A historical thriller about identity, violence, and becoming yourself in a world that has no place for you.
