Synopsis:
In 1899 two women from very different backgrounds are about to embark
on a journey together — one that will take them from the Old
World to the New, from the 19th century into the 20th, and from the
comfort and familiarity of England to the rigours of Western Canada,
where challenges await at every turn. The journey begins simply for
Kicker Stuart when she leaves her home village to take employment
as hostler and farrier at Grindleshire Academy for Young Ladies. But
when Kicker falls in love with a teacher, Madelyn Bristow, it radically
alters the course of her tranquil life. Together, the lovers flee
the brutality of Madelyn’s father and the prejudices of upper
crust England in search of freedom to live, and love, as they choose.
A journey as much of the heart and soul as of the body, it will find
the lovers struggling against the expectations of gender, the oppression
of class, and even, at times, each other. What they find at the end
of their journey is not a new Eden, but a land of hope and opportunity
that offers them the chance to live out their most cherished dream
— a life together.
