Gwen the Princess of Swan Creek Canyon
The narrator recalls Gwen, a bold ranch daughter living with the Old Timer, her fierce dogs Wolf and Leo, and her wild bond with the Duke. A Yellowstone like canyon, a Pilot and a boy named Loo test her limits as she learns schooling, love, and faith while crossing the Swan Creek in a storm. The tale blends frontier danger with a growing tenderness as prayers and a Bible link Gwen to her past.
