The Girl From Tim's Place

"The Girl From Tim's Place" by Charles Clark Munn is a tale of a young woman's desperate flight from a life of hardship. Sixteen-year-old Chip McGuire lives a bleak existence in a remote and unforgiving community ruled by her outlaw father, where she's treated as a servant and sold to a trapper. Overhearing her fate, Chip makes a daring escape into the wilderness, driven by her deep-seated fears and the hope of finding a better future, battling not only the harsh elements but also the eerie legends instilled in her by an old Native American. Her journey is fraught with peril, but it ultimately leads her to a chance encounter with kind strangers who offer her a glimmer of hope for a new destiny.
