Description

Sent to a remote logging camp for his health, eighteen-year-old Archie Ogilvie enters a rough world of shantymen, rivermen, hard work, and old grudges. There he meets Noreen Maguire, a spirited red-headed girl with a talent for fishing and little patience for convention.<p>Years later, Archie stakes everything on an ambitious logging venture built around a daring plan to move timber through nearly inaccessible country. But mounting costs, divided loyalties, and a dangerous figure from his past threaten the enterprise. In the northern woods, success will depend on nerve, judgment, and knowing whom to trust.
