    About this ebook

    When a young woman decides to travel from New York to north-western Canada to see her mother, she never expects to have the adventure of a lifetime. She falls in love with a local trapper, but trouble rears its head when a rival fur trader decides he wants her for her own. Footner's classic suspense blends with adventure and romance in this fine historical tale of life in Canada.
