Kelly Has Big Dreams!
Kelly McGregor’s life along the Lehigh Canal has nothing in common with the beauty that surrounds her. Forced to help her family survive by driving her father’s mules as they pull boatloads of coal to the city, Kelly determines that she will never be stuck in a loveless marriage like her parents. Her dream is to save enough money so that she can escape the drudgery of home and be an artist, sharing the beauty of the world with others.
When a shopkeeper along the canal gives Kelly an outlet for her drawings, she wonders if she may be starting to realize her dream. But as she gets to know Mike and learns about the God he worships, she begins to understand that life may offer even more than she has dared to hope for.
Will Kelly seize this chance for a love like she has never known, or will fear drive her away?
