Review
"An excellent story, full of cliff-hanging crises for the heroine, a young woman having to fend for herself in the Victorian Age. She succeeds against the background of Pullman, the "perfect" town, built in the 1880s for workers of George Pullman's Pullman Palace Car Company, builder of luxurious passenger train cars. This innovative community, although not the utopia it was purported to be at the time, was a major player very important in the history of the United States during the Industrial Age. Although this tale is fictional, Miller's research into the real town is a job well done."
From the Back Cover
Olivia Mott finds herself juggling two jobs: her assistant chef position at Hotel Florence and her undercover work for the Pullman Palace Car Company. Olivia thinks the suggestions she relays to Pullman's town manager are being used to improve conditions for workers and save the company money, but is something much more sinister happening behind the scenes?
Several months have passed since Lady Charlotte fled to Chicago, leaving her infant son in Olivia's care. Now Charlotte's money has run out. A kindly woman offers her a place to live and secures her a position at Marshall Field's department store, but Charlotte's heart can't forget the past. Dare she return to Pullman to find out what happened to her baby?"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
