"Have You Anywhere to Go?" He Asked the Woman Left at the Depot—and Gave Her More Than a Bed

"Have You Anywhere to Go?" He Asked the Woman Left at the Depot—and Gave Her More Than a Bed Lydia Poole crossed two thousand miles to be married, and the train left her standing on the Winters depot platform with one trunk, a wedding dress she'd never wear, and nowhere in the world to go. The man who'd sent for her — a smooth-worded stranger she'd trusted with her savings — took one look, told the whole town she wouldn't do, and walked off with her money. Then a plain widower who'd watched it all crossed the platform, took off his hat, and asked whether she had anywhere to go — and gave her more than a bed. And when the swindler came back to shake down the good man she'd landed with, the woman he'd counted on staying silent found her voice, and read his whole crooked trade to the county. A tender, clean Old West story of a woman thrown away and taken in, a predator exposed, and a real home found on the American frontier. Fictional story. Original, carefully crafted storytelling for relaxation and comfort viewing.
