My Name is Emilia del Valle

Emilia del Valle was always destined for great things. Raised by her mother and stepfather in nineteenth-century San Francisco, Emilia is fiercely ambitious and decades ahead of her time. She will do whatever it takes to pursue her life's passion for writing - so when she gets a job at the Daily Examiner and is asked to cover a brewing civil war in Chile, it's the opportunity to prove herself that she's been waiting for.
But when Emilia arrives in Chile, she finds more than just her next article. Embarking on a treacherous, life-changing journey, she uncovers the truth about a homeland, a father and a part of herself that she never knew.
