Crowds throng the Boston station, mesmerized by the mechanical wonder huffing on the rails: the Pullman Hotel Express, the first train to travel from coast to coast. For two young women, strangers until this fateful day, it's the beginning of a journey that will change their lives. Sensitive Louisa dreads the trip, but with limited prospects, she's reluctantly joined the excursion as a governess to a wealthy family. Hattie is traveling to San Francisco to meet her fianc婉, yet she's far more interested in the workings of the locomotive than she is in the man awaiting her arrival. As the celebrated train moves westward, the women move toward one another, pulled by an unexpected attraction. But there is danger in this closeness, just as there is in the wilds of the frontier and in the lengths the railroad men will go to protect their investments. Before their journey is over, Louisa and Hattie will find themselves very far from where they intended to go."-- Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20191112. 650 1 $a Women $z United States $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Railroad travel $z United States $v Fiction. 650 $a Governesses $v Fiction. 651 $a United States $x History $y 1865-1898 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20200313010637.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20200211010607.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E7647784C9C11EAA62F6FF696128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
