Gracie Breaks Out — Leah Cutter

Gracie lives in town and works for Mr. Dickerson, hidden in the back room 'cause no one wants a mere girl fixing their whirligigs or automatons. Gracie fights against the attitude that girls should only get married and have babies, but no one will hire her on her own.

Then she meets the professor, an inventor who likes that she's talented, that she has a mind of her own.

However, the professor is only in town for a short while. Can Gracie convince him to take her with him?

Or is Gracie going to have to break out on her own?
