Excerpt from Kleath
The San Domingo flung wide its noisy and hospitable doors. Tim Meadows, at one end of a huge, grotesque shadow, stood, an invitation rather than an obstruction, in its gaping portals. Tim's expanse of body and expanse of smile proclaimed him the living presentment of an ideal Boniface.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the adventures of Christopher Kleath, a newly hired linotype operator in the rough-and-tumble world of the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. After arriving in Dawson City, Kleath quickly becomes entangled in the colourful and dangerous world of saloons, gambling, and dance halls. Despite having his first day on the job end in a violent bar fight, Kleath meets the strong-willed Goldie Meadows, who will become both a friend and a source of inspiration. Goldie's presence exposes Kleath to the injustices the women in the mining community face as well as the camaraderie and aspirations that exist within that same community. The author introduces the main themes of the book through Kleath's experiences and reflections, exploring the tension between personal ambition and ethical responsibility, the contrasting values of different social classes, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Ultimately, this book provides a vivid and insightful portrayal of life in the Klondike, while offering a timeless exploration of the human condition.
