Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Island of Intrigue
I am Maida Waring, the only child of Lawrence Waring, whose millions date from the day when, rag ged and half starving, he had struck oil on his home stead land. I was nearly seven then, growing up like a wild thing in the Open air, my only playmates the three Smith children from the next homestead. Mr. Smith and Daddy were great friends and often Mrs. Smith would come over to Give a hand with the wash, or knead the big batch of bread, - work too heavy for my frail little mother's slender hands.
