Phineas W. CarltonLaura HarrisSam HarrisUncle BenAunt MarthaJohn W. Harkness

When Phineas W. Carlton receives a desperate telegram from Laura Harris, his former ward, he boards a train to Elmville to refuse her pleas for help—convinced his hard-earned success came entirely from his own virtue and her ingratitude. But a mysterious conductor offers him passage on the 5:27 Express, a train that defies all expectations, whisking him away to witness his own past in ways that force him to reckon with the story he's been telling himself. What unfolds is a journey through memory itself, where old Phineas must confront the gaps between who he believes he's been and who he actually was.

Paula DorranceStephen Howard

Paula Dorrance has spent her life wealthy but lonely, plagued by the memory of a fortune teller's cryptic promise that she would someday possess "the most priceless possession in the world"—a claim she dismissed as the peddling of phony dreams. Years later, when love finally arrives in the form of Stephen Howard, a charming young painter, Paula marries him hoping her loneliness will finally end, yet a mysterious figure from her past keeps appearing at the edges of her life, and her deepest insecurity about her own beauty continues to poison her happiness. As Paula and Stephen settle into married life in Morocco, she must grapple with whether the fortune teller's promise was ever real, or if what she's been searching for all along has been something else entirely.
