This time, he will win. The four friends have been hunting together for several years and they are going hunting together again this year. Their hunt is more about being together out in the Alaskan Wilderness than about bringing home a trophy or meat for the table. Their paths are about to collide.

Luke found gold, started his own town and needs a wife to complete the picture. However circumstances embarrass him in Seattle so he heads farther down the coast. Finally he reaches Los Angeles in time to meet a delicate young lady. Temperance is driving her Grandfather to desperation.

I was born 9 months, 2 weeks after Pearl Harbor, so it doesn't take much imagination to figure out what brought me about. My father wanted to leave behind a male heir when he went off to fight. I didn't turn out to be male and he didn't get to go fight. He never quite forgave Uncle Sam or me. I didn't know it, but my childhood would give me the skills I would need to survive and to thrive in Alaska, many years later. If you want to read about the perfect Alaskan woman, you have the wrong book. This book is about me.
