Read THE IMPERIAL ENGINEER Storyline:

Tony Dewitt, his reputation in tatters, is hired to install
a newfangled telephone system in Hailey,
Idaho. Racial prejudice is
rampant, so Tony, who is Chinese, passing as white, conceals his ancestry.

Lulu King is of mixed race and proud of it. Having seen
firsthand what misery bigotry can cause, she has devoted her life to the
campaigns for women's suffrage and equal rights for all.

They were childhood friends, but conflicting goals drove
them apart. Now fate has brought them to the same small town and the old
attraction is difficult to deny.

Sabotage to the telephone system and a boycott by the
Anti-Chinese League threaten Tony's career and Lulu's convictions. Soon their very lives are endangered.
