A western story in which a multimillionaire’s son marries an adventuress, takes to the mountains to win back his peace of mind, falls in love with a bonanza king’s daughter and hopes for developments that will permit an honorable marriage. The way appears when the former husband of the unfit wife appears, and is a welcome factor in straightening the tangle.
“Is one of the strongest romances of the year.”

“All things considered, it is rather the best piece of fiction that has yet come from Geraldine Bonner’s pen, the clearest character drawing, the strongest situations, the most thoroughly human appeal from first to last.” Frederic Taber Cooper.

“Miss Bonner’s book is primarily about the children of two of these bonanza families, but its best and most interesting, parts are those that treat of the parents.”
