Teddy Roosevelt, Millie, and the Elegant Ride | Jean M. Flahive
$14.95
Millie Thayer is a headstrong farmer’s daughter who chases her dreams in a way you would expect a little girl nicknamed “Spitfire” would—running full tilt and with her eyes on the stars. Dreaming of leaving farm life, working in the city, and fighting for women’s right to vote, Millie imagines flying away on a magic carpet. One day, that flying carpet shows up in the form of an electric trolley that cuts across her farm. A fortune-teller predicts that Millie’s path will cross that of someone famous. Suddenly she finds herself caught up in events that shake the nation, Maine, and her family. Despairing that her dreams may be shattered, Millie learns, in an unexpected way, that dreams can be shared.
