With hope and unwavering courage, a feisty young girl chases her dreams during the WWl years.

Millie Thayer is a headstrong farmer's daughter who chases her dreams in a way you would expect a little girl nicknamed "Spitfire" would - running full tilt and with her eyes on the stars. Dreaming of leaving farm life, working in the city, and fighting for women's right to vote, Millie imagines flying away on a magic carpet. One day, that flying carpet shows up in the form of an electric trolley that cuts across her farm. A fortune-teller predicts that Millie's path will cross that of someone famous. Suddenly she finds herself caught up in events that shake the nation, Maine, and her family. Despairing that her dreams may be shattered, Millie learns, in an unexpected way, that dreams can be shared.

"Along with being a beautiful story, Teddy Roosevelt, Millie, and the Elegant Ride contains many of the core elements that Roosevelt himself held dear: understanding history, appreciating nature, telling a good story, loving children." (Michael R. Canfield, author, Theodore Roosevelt in the Field)

"An eye-opening and entertaining ride - you won't want the train to stop! Highly recommend." (Andrew Vietze, award-winning author, Becoming Teddy Roosevel)
