In the early 1900s, women are not allowed to vote, much less run
a business. But society's expectations don't stop the proud and
stubborn Jane Odenton from doing what she wants. From the ripe age
of eight, she has been prepared by her father for the eventual
ownership of his steel factory, Odenton Steel. After her father's
death, she inherits the Ohio factory, where she proves she is
capable of not only maintaining the business, but expanding it as
well.
Rich and powerful, Jane is sought after by the men of her town.
Determined that no man will tell her what to do with the family
business, Jane rebuffs her many potential suitors. One night, a
strange young girl, whom no one seems to know, is found badly
beaten on one of Jane's supply trains. Taking her to her home, Jane
learns of a strange connection between her and the girl, whose name
is Elaina Scarborough.
Haunted by her father's harsh lessons and the painful loss of
her mother, Jane struggles not only against the prejudice of her
field, but to find the piece of her she lost long ago.
