Release Date July 16th, 2013
Description:
Unknown to Dawn, her
grandfather has shot an old swan out of mercy. In their coastal Alaskan
town, her father buys the swan pelt, preventing her Uncle Alex, a fur
trader, from selling it for export. Dawn’s father surprises her
part-Aleut mother with a hat she helped to make and also with an idea to
catch poachers. Shooting swans has become illegal but Alaska is a
territory and Prohibition occupies the Sheriff.
Dawn and her mother become involved with suspicious responses to the swan bonnet besides its haunting effect. Because Dawn’s grandparents see the swans first, Dawn agrees to secretly watch the migration with the Deputy Sheriff’s son. But after she and her mother encounter women from a ship and find out about a hunting party, they ride to the inlet. There are also townspeople roving the shore but who is the vigilante and who is the poacher?
