About This Book

A determined woman ventures into the northern wilderness to found a school for remote communities and becomes entangled with independent river freighters and an enigmatic adventurer whose charm conceals a shadowed past. She confronts sabotage, whiskey runners, and a frame-up that leads to chases across rapids and lakes, shifting alliances, and violent confrontations involving a brutal rival and loyal helpers. The narrative moves through rescue attempts, tracking and courtroom-like reckonings, culminating in a decisive clash where a distinctive marking on a firearm helps resolve questions of guilt, allegiance, and justice.
