Nineteen-year-old Patrick Wallace comes to the booming Canadian frontier settlement of Pilot Bay from Bonners Ferry, Idaho in 1895 to make his fortune.
A woman he meets throws him into a web of mystery, and in his search for answers he is rewarded with much more than he bargained for.

When Sally finds Patrick’s journal tucked away in a dusty corner of her new home, she is drawn into Patrick’s world. His story is not only a means of escape from her troubles, but also a lasting connection to the past, and a beacon to help her to find her own way forward.
