However, while Athena became a literary darling, June faded into obscurity. When June witnesses Athena's tragic death in a freak accident, she acts on a shocking impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel detailing the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. Rationalizing that the history deserves to be told regardless of the teller, June edits the manuscript and submits it to her agent as her own original work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eEmbracing her newfound success, she allows her publisher to rebrand her as \"Juniper Song,\" complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo. The book skyrockets to the top of the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller list, granting June the fame she has always coveted. But she cannot escape Athena's looming shadow. As emerging evidence on social media threatens to expose her devastating secret, June must race to protect her fabricated identity, discovering exactly how far she is willing to go—and how many white lies she is willing to tell—to keep what she believes she deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eIntended Audience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThis novel is highly recommended for readers who crave sharp, dark satire, psychological thrillers, and contemporary literary fiction.
