"The World for Sale Volume 1" is a novel capturing the dramatic changes and challenges of a land in transition. The protagonist, Fleda Druse, is a young woman with a fierce desire for independence, navigating her place in a world full of evolving traditions and societal expectations. The story unfolds in two contrasting towns, Lebanon and Manitou, each with its own set of values and ways of life. As harvest time approaches, Fleda takes a bold step by running the dangerous Carillon Rapids, an act that both proves her courage and sets her apart from the more conventional expectations of women in her time. This act attracts the attention of Max Ingolby, a man driven by ambition and intent on shaping the future of the region. As the narrative develops, it explores the growing tensions between the old ways of life and the new, embodied in Fleda's struggle for personal freedom and her complex relationships with those around her. The story reveals the challenges of forging one's path in a rapidly changing world and sets the stage for Fleda's journey toward self-discovery and autonomy as she faces the consequences of her actions and decisions.
