Josephine Cain has grown up within Washington privilege, but the Civil War has left her household trapped in grief and her own life without direction. After witnessing Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, she longs to escape the constrained routines of mourning and persuades her family to let her travel west, where her father is supervising work connected with the transcontinental railroad.
Railroad camps expose Josephine to violence, labour, poverty and people her social world has taught her to overlook. Her attraction to an Irish worker competes with the approved courtship of a polished Washington suitor whose motives are increasingly suspect. The journey becomes a test of judgement and faith as Josephine learns that maturity requires service, courage and a purpose larger than comfort.
