But ever since their father died, her mother depends on her. To make ends meet, she&’s just taken a boarder, an Englishwoman named Beatrice Rutherford, into their Chelsea tenement apartment. Susan and Bea become fast friends, but when Susan finds a folded piece of paper with six cryptic words—must be kept secret for now—she wonders what her new friend is hiding. Is Bea a spy? Is she trying to involve Susan&’s mother in something dangerous? Susan&’s fear becomes a reality when her mother vanishes on the day five thousand women from every state in the Union come to New York for a suffrage rally. A riot erupts, and Susan knows something truly momentous has happened. Terrified for her mother&’s safety, she begins a search that exposes some hard truths about her city—and their new boarder.
