Through twelve-hour days of training in Topeka, Kansas, they learn the fine art of service, perfecting their skills despite bouts of homesickness, fear of being discovered, and a run-in with the KKK. When they're sent to work at the luxurious El Tovar hotel at the Grand Canyon, the challenges only grow,as Billie struggles to hide her young age from would-be suitors, and Charlotte discovers the little-known dark side of the national park's history"
