Across a new land, a bold mix of people and a girl with a quiet strength collide in a frontier city.

Set against a bustling prairie backdrop, the story threads together a city on the edge of the world and the communities that shape it. From crowded quarters and hopeful arrivals to ambitious ventures and daring journeys, it invites readers to feel the pull of land, liberty, and the people who keep pushing forward."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Ralph Connor was the pseudonym of best-selling Canadian writer Charles William Gordon. Born in a small town in Ontario, Gordon s interest in writing was ignited as a student first at the University of Toronto and then at Knox College, where he completed his divinity studies. Gordon went on to become a reverend in both the Presbyterian and United churches, and used the pen name Ralph Connor to keep his literary activities separate from his religious vocation. Over the course of his career, Connor published more than forty works, including the wildly popular The Sky Pilot, which sold more than one million copies, Glengarry School Days, The Man from Glengarry, and Postscript to Adventure, a posthumous autobiography published after Gordon s death in 1937.
