Two-Way Trail
In the frozen heart of the Yukon gold rush, a desperate young woman stands on the bar of a Dawson dance hall, auctioning herself to the highest bidder. Fleeing her predatory stepfather and devastated by her brother's death, she gambles everything on one reckless act of survival. When a broke miner called the Red Rover sacrifices his prized dog team to win her, they vanish into the wilderness on a trail that claims to be one-way for women. Years later, as an old sourdough spins this tale beside a campfire, a white-haired stranger listens—and the truth of what happened on that frozen river proves that some stories never truly end.
What’s Life Worth
In the small northern logging town of Big Neck, a defiant young man stands accused of murdering the most powerful man in town—and seems determined to hang for it. Mary Lee, the only female attorney in the county and the most underestimated one, is the sole voice who believes he may be innocent. As she fights not only the court but her client's own will to live, she unravels a web of old debts, buried secrets, and a crime that runs far deeper than anyone in Big Neck dares to admit. Set against a rugged Northwoods backdrop, this is a story of justice pursued against the odds, and of two broken people who may yet save each other.
