The Carousel Painter

After her father's death leaves her with no way to earn a living, Carrington Brouwer is offered a chance to put her painting skills to work at a carousel factory run by a friend's father. The position is a coveted one, and the factory's male craftsmen resent that it has gone to a woman, the painting of the richly carved horses being the prize.

Trouble soon follows. Equipment fails, and jewelry vanishes from the factory owner's household, and suspicion quickly settles on Carrie. As the accusations grow, she must decide whom she can trust. The handsome young factory manager may be her ally, or he may join those pushing for her dismissal.
