Now more than eighty years later, another dreamer Anthony Pennington finds himself in Way Station with a strategy of bringing hope and renewal to a community riddled with abandoned railways and buildings. Coincidence? Fate? Or the faint whisper asking, "are we there yet?"
Born in 1898, in the sparsely settled town of Senora, Kansas, Lily was the only daughter of a wealthy mercantile shopkeeper. At the age of nineteen, she was the youngest schoolteacher appointed in the State of Kansas, and with a reputation of being full of piss and vinegar.
She lived in a time when it was illegal for women to smoke in public, lynching was a form of punishment, and life expectancy was forty-five. A time when the average worker earned thirteen dollars for a sixty-hour workweek, and the streets of New York filled with abandoned, neglected, and orphaned children. A quarter of a million of them as reports of abuse, neglect, and inhuman treatment of the children in public orphanages filled the airwaves.
Her dream was to change a broken system. Will she be successful, or will she be just another broken attempt?
