by Margaret Bell ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 27, 1948
Alaska and the salmon salteries, in the story of the Monroe family against the wilderness, striving to wrest a living out of the wild bay. Florence, fresh from a safe, pleasant home in Victoria, is blown into the role of housekeeper for the men of her family on a desolate tip of land which boasts no occupants other than themselves and the highly desirable salmon they plan to salt. Storms and stresses, without and within, pile up on Florence's youthful shoulders, with relief coming as the tall white sail of her daring young admirer provides a scenic finish. Cookstove anguish as well as heart throbs in a story with genuine, feeling detail.
