David Gastrell is a remittance man in Canada and he is missing. His last telegram home said he was headed to Dawson City, Yukon. His sister Helen and her lady’s maid, Mattie Lewis, arrive in Victoria, British Columbia, from England. Helen hires Detective Baxter Davenport to go with her to Dawson City, Yukon, and help her locate David for their father. Baxter Davenport has his doubts about travelling north with two women. He will have a job to do and can’t be looking after them. Mattie has worked for the family for years and remembers David better than Helen does. She also has her own motive for wanting to find him. The three head north armed with an old photograph. They arrive in Dawson City where the gold rush is in full swing. There they are challenged by deceit, fraud, and danger in their quest to find David.

She was testing a woman’s ability to look after herself. To fulfill her dream Pearl is on her way to the Yukon River area with her cousin, Emma, to write articles and do illustrations about the women and men who are looking for gold in the far north. Sam Owens, Pearl’s cousin and Emma’s brother, has been searching for gold with two friends, Gordon and Donald, for five years without success.

West to Grande Portage

By: Joan Donaldson-Yarmey

On his sixteenth birthday Phillipe Chabot is told that his brother-in-law has hired him to be a voyageur. He will be paddling west from Montreal to Grade Portage to trade supplies with the Indians for furs. He is overjoyed and receives all the appropriate clothing from his family as birthday gifts, even a tobacco pouch. As the loaded canoe brigade gets ready to leave, his cousin, Jeanne, accepts the proposal of marriage yelled at her by the clerk who is going along to keep track of the trading. Unfortunately, disaster strikes the brigade as the men paddle the rivers, make their portages, and get onto the sometimes violent and unforgiving Lake Superior. In Montreal, the city is ravished by a fire and many people die.

Crazy Cat Kid

By: Joan Donaldson-Yarmey

Lilly Thornton is a fourteen-year-old girl who lives on an acreage just outside Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. She owns four rescued cats and has helped find homes for many more. Her mother belongs to a dragon boat race team and some of the team members have decided to go camping around the island with their families. Lilly is considered too young to be left at home alone. Since one of Lilly's cats is diabetic and needs an insulin shot twice a day she has to bring her along. The other three have never been left alone before so Lilly convinces her parents that they have to come, too. It sounds like a simple solution until they begin to drive away from their house and the cats start howling. While camping the cats try to find ways to get out. They hover at the screen door waiting for it to open. One checks every open door searching for the magic way outside and spends the night pawing at the metal window blinds so she can look out. Are they going to ruin the camping trip or is boredom? The first day there is no one Lilly’s age and by the afternoon she wants to go home. And then she meets Jesse, the fifteen-year-old Metis son of another team member.

The Reluctant Religious

By: Joan Gore

An entertaining and challenging story of faith, family, adventure and danger — but above all of love: love of God, love of family, love of people. When God gently called her to the life of a Religious Sister, Joan wasn't at all sure that this was the life for her, and she gave Him every opportunity to 'change His mind. However, she soon discovered that He had indeed planned this life for her — a life of service that took her to work with the poor and marginalised in the South Pacific, South America and the former Communist Germany — and He gave her the courage, the strength of spirit and above all the love for people to carry out His mission"--Back cover.
