Born in Paris in 1900, Alexandra Bouvier was raised believing that, with hard work, she could achieve anything. But, when the First World War erupts across Europe, coupled with the fast-spreading Spanish flu, Alex's world is upended. By the age of eighteen, she has already suffered unimaginable losses. Bravely settling sail for a new life in America, Alex is taken in by her last living relative, her grandfather. He owns a small but respected Illinois newspaper and agrees with Alex's modern ideas, despite the restrictions imposed on women at the time. With his support, Alex attends university. Her journalistic talent secures her an internship with a New York newspaper, where she meets crime reporter Oliver Foster. The two are drawn to each other, though both fear any attachment, and Alex is determined to remain true to her ambitions.
