Beschreibung

Seventeen-year-old Jo Kuan is leading a double life. By day, she works as a lady's maid, navigating life in a brutally segregated society. By night, she's the voice behind the most radical advice column in 1890s Atlanta.

Jo is used to feeling invisible, but though her priority is making sure that she and her father, Old Gin, remain safe in their hideaway beneath a print shop, she has ambitions and opinions of her own. Opinions that she begins to share in a newspaper advice column under the pseudonym 'Miss Sweetie'. Suddenly, all of Atlanta is talking about her ideas, never knowing that the witty advice comes from a penniless Chinese girl.

As curiosity about Miss Sweetie mounts, Jo's secret identity may not stay secret for much longer. And as she learns more of the hard truths about her identity and her country, she must find the courage to decide between being herself or staying invisible . . .
