Gambling everything--including the family farm--Cullen McNamara
travels to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair with his most recent
invention. But the noise in the fair's Machinery Hall makes it
impossible to communicate with potential buyers. In an act of
desperation, he hires Della Wentworth, a teacher of the deaf, to
tutor him in the art of lip-reading.
The young teacher is reluctant to participate, and Cullen has
trouble keeping his mind on his lessons while intently watching her
lips. Like the newly invented Ferris wheel, he is caught in a whirl
between his girl back home, his dreams as an inventor, and his
unexpected attraction to his new tutor. Can he keep his feet on the
ground, or will he be carried away?
