Seattle — Charlotte Paul

SEATTLE . . . A raw sea town inflamed by the news of gold in Alaska and set on a bold new course for the future. SEATTLE . . . Where the Peersens, a hardy immigrant family, lost its father when he became a victim of rapacious corruption. Where his wife was left to build a business empire. And where his son sought the power to avenge him. SEATTLE . . . Where beautiful young Sarah Whiting rebelled against her background of privilege to give her heart and hand to young Tryg Peersen, a man who at first fought all that her family represented, and then, with iron will and burning ambition, rose to the position his wife was born to. SEATTLE . . . A magnificent saga aflame with all the tumultuous drama and adventure, love and lust, and stirring excitement of a family seeking its destiny in an era of greed and glory on America's most westward frontier.
