About this audiobook
Chicago, in the years before its darkest night. Dennis Fleet arrives in the city with empty pockets but an unshakable will, determined to support the family he loves after tragedy leaves them without a provider. From shoveling snow outside a fashionable art gallery to earning a place behind its counter, he claws his way upward through grit, talent, and quiet faith. But it's his employer's daughter, Christine Ludolph—brilliant, beautiful, and coolly indifferent to the beliefs that anchor his life—who becomes his fiercest challenge. As ambition, class, and conviction collide in Gilded Age Chicago, one question burns beneath it all: what will it take to break down the barriers between two hearts built on such different foundations? Written in the shadow of the real Great Chicago Fire, this sweeping tale of love, work, and belief became one of the most beloved American novels of its era.
