The Daughter of a Magnate

** "The Daughter of a Magnate" by Frank H. Spearman is a story largely about family dynamics and the call of duty. Set in the early 1900s in the American West, an independently minded woman named Gertrude Brock and her loved ones are traveling by train on a rugged adventure. They must contend with a powerful storm that brings rising floodwaters, causing tension as they travel through the rough mountain landscape, as the party must grapple with delays to their journey and the danger of mother nature, as their collective emotional challenges mount, testing their resolve and relationships with one another. **
