Lister's Great Adventure

George Lister has spent his life building railroads across the Canadian frontier, but his greatest journey might be the one that leads him home. A railway engineer of quiet ambition, Lister finds himself caught between the grinding machinery of industry and the messy complications of human hearts when he encounters a mysterious woman aboard a train. Meanwhile, at a sun-drenched Canadian summer hotel, Barbara, bold and unapologetically rebellious, defies her stepfather Cartwright's attempts to control her future, chasing a clerk named Shillito despite the gulf of class and expectation that separates them. As Cartwright schemes to dismantle her plans, the stage is set for collisions between duty and desire, between the tracks Lister lays and the paths his own life might take. Bindloss captures a world on the verge of transformation, where the old rules are crumbling and anyone bold enough might carve out something new. For readers who crave adventure with heart, who love stories of people fighting against the currents of their time.
