On April 18, 1906, a powerful earthquake rocked San Francisco. Photographer Edith Irvine and her assistant, Daisy Valentine, survive the tragedy. Armed with Edith's camera, the two women set out to document the devastation--even as buildings crumble around them and soldiers shoot anyone trying to photograph the crippled city. “Touching and exciting, this close-up has immediacy and an authentic voice that brings history vividly to life.”--Kirkus Reviews
