McMorris is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author of two novellas and eight novels, including the million-copy bestseller "Sold on a Monday." The recipient of more than 20 national literary awards, she previously hosted weekly TV shows for Warner Bros. and an ABC affiliate, beginning at age nine with an Emmy Award-winning program. A graduate of Pepperdine University, she lives near Portland, Oregon.

Set in Oregon in 1888, "The Girls of Good Fortune" follows Celia, a half-Chinese woman passing as white, who has been "shanghaied" and is on the verge of being shipped off as forced labor, leaving behind those she loves most. As she pieces together the twisting path that led to her abduction, from serving as a maid for the family of a dubious mayor to becoming entwined in the case of a goldminers' massacre, revelations emerge of a child left in peril. Desperate, Celia must find a way to escape and return to a place where unearthed secrets can prove deadlier than the dark recesses of Chinatown.
