In the world of Gilded Spirits, it's not just the boundaries between work and life that are blurring...Though separated by time and technology, the lives of Emily James and Meera are entwined in gold. One a Georgia native riding the Gold Rush wave in hopes of personal freedom, the other a factory worker from Mumbai desperate to escape a provincial fate, each woman is pulled Westward by the yearning magnet of their ambitions. Ultimately called to the glittering promises of San Francisco, they face brutal labor conditions, made no less tolerable by the indignities put upon their gender, from which not even love and family can seem to rescue them.
Now Meera is a mother who must manage her declining mental health while in the chokehold of Silicon Valley's corrupt, antihuman infotech company WC Terra. What she cannot know is that her spirit has been calling out for help-and the Matchmaker has been listening.
Once the bond between Emily and Meera is forged, Meera must take Emily's hard-won wisdom to heart. From there, it will be up to Meera to manifest a new destiny for herself-one that is not only worth living for but could set her on a path to revolutionize corporations across the globe.
