The Tower in the Forest — Ethel Hamill

Pretty young Dulcy Jordan was returning to the place she loved best--the beautiful San Benito National Forest Reserve in California. Her brother Mark was about to achieve his ambition of becoming superintendent of the Reserve, and Dulcy wanted to be on hand to share his joy.

But no happiness greeted Dulcy when she arrived--only bitter conflict and intrigue. A handsome newcomer named John Cameron was slated to get the job that should have been Mark's, and to Dulcy's horror, she found herself falling in love with her brother's rival. And there was the threat of powerful forces who wanted to open up the Reserve to commercial exploitation and were willing to stop at nothing to gain their ends. It took a raging forest fire and a shocking discovery to make Dulcy emerge into womanhood as she made her choice between old loyalty and new love, and risked her future to save the forest from the axes of greed.
