Klappentext

"In the early 1920s, the accelerating destruction of the California redwoods is more than nature-loving Marion Baker can bear. Throwing herself headlong into the work of the Save the Redwoods League, she's shocked to learn that Frank Duncan, a man she's grown to love, is actually the son of a greedy timber baron. Can she convince Frank to help her preserve a favorite grove of trees or will his influence force her to make a sacrifice she'll regret for the rest of her life? In 1972, polio-survivor June Turner is determined to prove herself worthy as a ranger at the new Redwood National Park.
