Slow Train to Nowhere: Milo

Milo Digsby remembers life before he rode the orphan train to Clabber Mills, Indiana, including the farm back in England where his father worked so hard. He’s always done his best to get along, but now as a grown man he’s being asked to give up the one thing he refuses to abandon—his name.

Jessica Downing is the new schoolteacher in Clabber Mills, though she prefers her ancestral vocation of fortuneteller and witch. Milo stirs her instincts and her desire. But before she can belong to him, she will give this man, so often denied his liberty, the chance to choose his future, even if his choice does not include the gift of her heart.
