Wired Love: A Romance of Dots and Dashes

"Wired Love: A Romance of Dots and Dashes" by Ella Cheever Thayer is a story set in a time when telegraphs were the cutting-edge way to talk to people, where Miss Nathalie Rogers, a clever telegraph operator, finds herself drawn into a surprising romance with a mysterious person she knows only as "C." Their connection starts with playful arguments and skill challenges through telegraph signals, but it soon grows, raising questions about who they are as people, what they want in life, and what society thinks is right. When an unexpected call comes in from a distant telegraph office, Nattie's ordinary work life is turned upside down, beginning a tale all about how love can blossom and how people can connect in unexpected ways.
