The Girl from Tomorrow's Town

In "Enduring Hope," Lily Mae Dodge escapes her challenging life in Wyoming to search for her mother, who sent her west on an orphan train a decade earlier. After being arrested in Chicago, she finds unexpected support from Francis Basnett, a man with a unique vision impairment and a roustabout for the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, who helps her secure a job. As their friendship deepens into something more, hope seems within reach—until a tragic accident derails their plans and shatters everything they’ve worked toward.
