One Hand Clapping picks up where the first book, Majesty, left off. Nineteen-year-old, Kitty Wixon, combines ingenuity and sweat to build her Kansas City baking business, Kitty's Kakes. All she wants is to earn enough money to buy back her beloved stallion, Majesty, who was stolen from her during their escape from Russia. Meanwhile, Kitty's brother, Joseph, struggles to survive in the severely hostile environment that is Russia under the Bolsheviks. Constantly watching his back, he uses his skills as a hunter and mechanic to subsist. His opposition to the growing power of the hated Communist Party heightens the risk at every turn. Through it all, Joseph is steadfast in his belief that his sister lives, though he has no idea what has become of her. Finally, Kitty embarks on a perilous mission. Can she pull it off? Few would attempt to face such danger...alone.
