About This Book

A rugged narrative set in the northern mountain wilderness follows a small group of frontier figures whose lives are molded by isolation and elemental forces. A dugout on a windswept slope frames the backdrop for a yarn about a mysterious pale woman that Victor Gagnon tells, which sparks the intense curiosity of two brothers, Nick and Ralph. Their decision to mount an expedition to a distant reserve to find her becomes the driving action, exposing Nick’s headlong enthusiasm, Ralph’s steadier restraint, and Victor’s furtive cunning, while the surrounding wildness imposes harsh tests on loyalty, desire, and survival.
