This is a gripping, fast action true historical novel that takes place in the 1890's during the exciting time of the Alaskan gold rush. Young, headstrong Lily Millet is put out to survive on her own. She grows up in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Eventually married, she goes to Dyea, Alaska and upon her return to Washington State is pursued by old loves. ''She tried to duck as his fist came around and hit her along the side of her face knocking her off the bar stool. 'Don't ever talk to me like that! I own you lock, stock and barrel! Why do you think I sold you half of this business so cheap? It's because I bought you, and don't ever forget it!' Lily's jaw pained and she was stunned. She sat on the floor crying. Anna was right all along. All J.D. really wanted was her. He was not the benefactor that he had pretended to be.''
