For Ling Southcott and her young sister, Fanny, this is a momentous event, for the railway will make the outside world accessible. Ling's future looks ready-mapped, but her sharp, enquiring mind leads her to higher aspirations. When she is injured on the railway, she is rescued by a handsome young doctor, Elliott Franfield, and this encounter with a man of education - so different from her dear but unambitious childhood sweetheart, Barney - is to alter the course of her life forever."}, "latest_revision": 2, "revision": 2, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2019-01-13T04:52:54.275225"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2021-05-09T09:06:30.175739"}}
