It is 1938, and sixteen-year-old Sarah Smith cannot wait to escape the ever-watchful eyes of her family. As the headstrong teenager heads home on a train for the holidays, she has no idea that a chance meeting on an Alabama platform with two handsome strangers will change her life forever. Sarah is first introduced to Jasper Collins, but is then captivated by his friend, John Jacobs—much to the dismay of Jasper, the only one who knows that his friend secretly loathes women. Forced to walk away from Sarah, whom he loves immediately, Jasper enlists in the navy and is soon embroiled in the battles of World War II. Meanwhile, Sarah and John marry. Sarah quickly realizes she has made a mistake, but Southern orthodoxy forces her to live with a man who routinely betrays her trust—until his disloyalties finally push her to take matters into her own hands. As Sarah is left picking up the pieces of her life, Jasper is left to wonder if destiny has finally moved in his favor. In this tale that spans generations, a woman embarks on a journey through the echoes of life, facing great challenges and wondering if she will ever find true love.
George R. Smith borrowed money to buy 337 acres of treeless prairie in 1856, never dreaming the central Missouri town he founded would become the "Queen of the Prairie." He did not foresee his "Sedville," now Sedalia, attracting thousands of tourists through the annual Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival and the Missouri State Fair. Smith did envision another type of visitor--steam engines that streamed through town daily. Smith's passion for the railroad launched Sedalia, and two major railroad shops sustained the city for more than a century. They provided the base for the now flourishing seat of Pettis County. Since Sedalia's official beginning in 1860, countless people have furthered Smith's vision by leaving their distinctive mark on the community. This book celebrates their contributions and shares their stories through more than 225 photographs, many previously unpublished.
