Love and Conductivity

Love and adventure don’t mix, or so thinks Eleanor Morgan, a teacher of poetry in 1918 Oklahoma. And she’s heard the call to adventure all her life: through books, through histories and fairy stories, entering their worlds and their fancies. This kind of imaginative escape has given her life some of its most bright and shining days. And now, as a grown woman, she’s desirous of early twentieth-century life’s real adventures: seeing the West, joining the Navy, exploring the North Pole-and a future with no thought of romance.

But sparks fly, quite literally, on the night she meets Erwin Phipps, a chemist-turned-lieutenant, on his way home to Austin after the Armistice. Their chance encounter is brief but electric, one she’s not able to forget, as much as she tries.
