About This Book

A man with a rugged past accepts responsibility at a remote homestead, where his calm steadiness supports an injured neighbor and brings him into contact with two determined women. The narrative traces hazardous pasts at sea, perilous journeys across fog and prairie, storms and ice, a stranding in the wilderness, and several rescues and reversals as loyalties and affections are tested. Encounters with hardship force characters to make painful choices, to endure privation, and to undertake daring efforts that culminate in a final struggle and a homecoming.
