Once upon a time…
hundreds of thousands of people descended on St. Louis for the 1904 World’s Fair. An enormous display of history, culture, science, and athletics played out over seven glorious months.
I’m currently writing a trilogy that will cover various aspects of the Fair, including the 1904 Olympic Games, which were held in conjunction with this grand event. The books weave real history with fictional characters and their faith journeys.

About the Book
After her brother’s murder, Katie Dotson wishes to heal the strained relationship with her widowed father. They’re both working at the 1904 World’s Fair—Katie as a first aid nurse, and her father as the supervisor of the Infantorium, an exhibit showcasing premature babies.
Rob Walker has spent three years traveling the globe with the World’s Fair Organization Committee, but working back in the States stirs up longings for a place to truly belong. Protestors flood his office over a nearby illegal bullfight, and the man who ruined his life years ago shows up in an unexpected way to threaten everything again.
Katie’s endeavor to close the distance between herself and her father comes to a halt when he decides to raffle off one of the babies in order to raise money for scientific advancement. Katie and Rob join forces in attempting to stop the raffle and find a home for baby Ernest. Along the way, Katie and Rob discover that not only does God have a plan for such a small and helpless child, but He has a plan for their lives as well.
