Restless Cowboy

Clara has learned to carry herself with grace through a world that rarely offers her kindness. As a Black Pullman Palace maid, she travels the iron rails of America, witnessing its beauty and its cruelty from behind a pressed uniform and a practiced smile. Independence has come at a cost, and Clara guards her heart as carefully as her dreams of a life where she can finally choose her own path.

Abraham thought he'd outrun his past the moment he left his dusty country town behind. A white cowboy, he's determined to become more than the expectations tied to his family name and the land that shaped him. But when a chance meeting on a westbound train brings Clara into his life, Abraham is forced to confront the truth he's been avoiding: you can't outride who you are—you can only decide who you'll become.

As their journeys intertwine, Clara and Abraham find an unexpected friendship growing into something deeper, tested by the rigid boundaries of their time and the secrets they both carry. Together, they must decide whether love is worth the risk of standing still long enough to claim it.

In a world divided by color, class, and convention, two souls discover that the bravest journey of all is toward each other.
