Summary "The Donovan Chance" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around Larry Donovan, a young railroad worker who grapples with his ambitions and familial responsibilities in a dynamic setting filled with adventure and challenges in the railroading industry. The book primarily explores themes of opportunity and aspiration as Larry seeks to transcend his current role and provide a better future for his family. The opening of the novel introduces Larry Donovan as he finishes his shift at a locomotive roundhouse, reflecting on his dissatisfaction with his job and contemplating his aspirations. His conversation with his father illustrates the weight of familial expectations and the burden of responsibility on Larry's shoulders, especially as he ponders the future of his siblings. As the narrative progresses, an emergency arises when a runaway locomotive threatens a freight train, compelling Larry and his friend Dick Maxwell to act heroically. Their daring chase to stop the chaotic runaway sets the stage for Larry’s journey, highlighting his courage and initiating his quest for greater opportunities in the railroad business.
