An ideal sanctuary and a dream come trueβthatβs what Margaret Lane feels as she takes in Godβs gorgeous handiwork in Mount Rainer National Park. Itβs 1927 and the National Park Service is in its youth when Margie, an avid naturalist, lands a coveted position alongside the park rangers living and working in the unrivaled splendor of Mount Rainierβs long shadow.
But Chief Ranger Ford Brayden knows too well how awe- inspiring nature can quickly turn deadly. Ford is still haunted by his fatherβs death on the mountain, and the ranger takes his work managing the park and its growing crowd of visitors seriously. The job of watching over an idealistic Senatorβs daughter with few practical survival skills seems a waste of resources.
