The single track

On her twenty-first birthday, Janetta Gildersleeve expects little more than a luncheon, a new car, and the freedom to continue her carefree life. Instead, her uncle Andrew Geddes summons her to his law office for a hard lesson in money, responsibility, and the precarious fortune she has taken for granted.

The family’s old mining company has failed, and Janetta’s comfortable allowance has been quietly supported by her brother’s remaining capital. Now the new Northern Star Mining Company, a copper venture in the remote Alaskan wilderness, may be the family’s only hope—but Janetta knows almost nothing about business, property, or the decisions that govern her future.

As a sheltered heiress is forced to look beyond frocks and frills, she must decide whether to remain dependent on the men managing her affairs or take control of her own uncertain inheritance. Her awakening promises a lively tale of wealth, independence, and danger on a far northern frontier.
