With You Always
Book 1 of the Orphan Train series
Swedish immigrant Elise Neumann struggles to support her younger sisters amid poverty and unemployment in nineteenth-century New York. A placement program sends her west to Illinois for work, where she meets wealthy Thornton Quincy during his competition to develop a railroad town. Their growing connection crosses class boundaries while forcing both to confront how ambition affects workers and families with few choices. Hopeful and socially conscious, this historical romance suits readers who enjoy immigrant heroines, westward expansion, reform, and love tested by unequal power.
