Glen of the High North

The Great War has ended, but Tom Reynolds cannot escape it. Returning to a civilian life that feels more like a prison, he drifts through meaningless days at a newspaper office until the day he sees her across a crowded street: Glen, a mysterious girl whose presence ignites something he thought dead inside him. Suddenly the gray streets of his hometown become unbearable. He abandons everything familiar, boarding a steamer bound for the Yukon and its promise of gold, adventure, and perhaps the purpose that eludes him at home. But Glen haunts him even in the North, her image intertwined with whispers of her father Jim Weston and a dangerous suitor called Curly, whose shadow looms over her story. What begins as a quest for gold becomes something far more precious: a journey into the wild to discover who he really is, and whether love can survive the distance between them. For readers who cherish early twentieth-century frontier romance, this is a tale of two searches unfolding in parallel, one for gold in the frozen hills, one for meaning in the wreckage left by war.
