Set against the backdrop of a gentrifying 1950s San Francisco, this novel explores the tension between a mother’s ambition for her daughters and the young women's own evolving desires. As the trio known as The Salvations gains local fame in the Jazz-era Fillmore, they must navigate the pressure of a potential national career while forging their own paths toward independence.
