The year was 1942. That spring Lt. Ryan Benson had been given the assignment to build the curved wooden bridge over the Kiskatinaw River. The U.S. Army was building the Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek, B.C. Canada, to Alaska through some 1500 miles of wilderness. Ryan's job with his command was to build the first major bridge or obstacle before the rest of the highway could go forward. The Allies needed an overland route to Alaska to ward off the threat of an Alaskan invasion by the Japanese during WWII. It would be one of the greatest single engineering feats in the modern era, utilizing the heroic efforts of more than 11,000 men and their equipment under the most extreme weather conditions. Jenny Iverson was a nursing student from Washington State University that had run out of money to pursue her education. An invitation from her Uncle Lenny to come to a work camp at the Kiskatinaw in Canada to earn some money was too good of an offer to pass up for the adventurous young woman. This was going to be so much fun, she thought. How did she know that she would become involved with another side of the dangerous world of war time problems and with a sinister plot against her? How would she survive the death of her fiance and the loss of her job with the whole town of Dawson Creek blowing up around her? This perceived romantic adventure would change her life forever. In the current day, Edward and Sara Toolson owned a large ranch in Rolla, B.C. that was having financial problems. It was apparent that the Toolson's would lose their farm without a miracle that could somehow save them. A family journal from 1942 provided the miracle, but only after a continuation of a 1942 sinister plot, and the cost of human life.
