A Daughter of the Snows - Jack London

A Daughter of the Snows is Jack London's first novel. Set in the Yukon, it tells the story of Frona Welse, 'a Stanford graduate and physical Valkyrie' who takes to the trail after upsetting her wealthy father's community by her forthright manner and befriending the town's prostitute.

Jack London (January 12, 1876 November 22, 1916), was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and other books. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a huge financial success from writing.
