"In the early 1920s, the accelerating destruction of the California redwoods is more than nature-loving Marion Baker can bear. Throwing herself headlong into the work of the Save the Redwoods League, she's shocked to learn that Frank Duncan, a man she's grown to love, is actually the son of a greedy timber baron. Can she convince Frank to help her preserve a favorite grove of trees or will his influence force her to make a sacrifice she'll regret for the rest of her life?

She takes inspiration from her Great Aunt Marion, who has become something of a reluctant celebrity for her activism. But when June and Adam Garner, an aspiring film student, work together on a documentary about Marion's life, they unearth a secret that might just shatter her aunt's legacy forever"--
