When Two Worlds Collide

Elvira Rivers is the youngest of two children. Her older brother, Bryant, is the one who has caught their mother's affections after their father's passing when Elvira was just a little girl. Her mother shuns her and dotes on Bryant.

Thomas Buckley is a poor orphan that moved to a large city to make a new life for himself. He stays humble and does his best to make sure the money he receives is earned and that he can provide for his little sister, Megan.

Their paths cross one day when Elvira and Bryant are sent to purchase special gifts for guests at their party one evening.
