"Your fortune lies to the west.
Keep your face to the sunset...
and one day you'll ride
the greatest wheel
in all the world."

When Aunt Honora reads this fortune in his tea leaves, Conn Kilroy knows he is destined for greater things than his small Irish village can offer. But could he ever imagine that the wheel Aunt Honora spoke of would be the world's first Ferris wheel? Or that he would be one of the men chosen to construct it for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair?
