The Hummingbird Heart

After escaping a circus tragedy, orphan Willow Antoniette finds refuge at an English holiday resort, growing up alongside the owners' children, including Julian. Now of marriable age, Willow is determined to avoid finishing school and confess her love to Julian, who only sees her as a friend.

Julian, an engineer focused on his amusement park plans, tries to escape his growing attraction to Willow by traveling to the St. Louis World's Fair, unaware she has stowed away on the same ship.

A mute orphan and haunted Italian shoes force them together, leading them to confront their feelings while solving a ghostly mystery that could cost them their lives.
