A Poppy and Belle Story Set 6 months after the events of Girl At The Bus Stop. Poppy & Belle's charity is up and running, they're feeding hundreds of people, it's an amazing success. Not everyone is happy though, and one day Poppy loses something very important to her...
Two souls in 1870s America. One is a tailor, living on the Great Plains and trying to escape his ghosts and his pain. The other is a teacher, dismissed from her Pennsylvania classroom after daring to advocate for women's suffrage. Both are bloodied by life, but refuse to break. This is their journey to finding themselves and each other. Caution: the "rape" code, while necessary to the story, is *not* treated erotically.
Inspired by the songs "Mr. Tanner" and "Mail Order Annie" by Harry Chapin
