 Lizzie never felt comfortable at the posh school or fancy parties of San Francisco society. She preferred to help her father with his many patients. Medicine in the 1900’s was still a mystery and she had stumbled onto an extremely deadly disease of epidemic proportions. Politics, prejudice and rumors of a plague could have destroyed the city.
