But Athena's a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn't even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo when June witnesses Athena's death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo what if June edits Athena's novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song?complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn't this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That's what June claims, and the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller list seems to agree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut June can't get away from Athena's shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June's (stolen) success down around her.
