Magnus ‘White-light’ Braith makes things happen on Broadway. But he’s grown tired and cynical. Despite his brilliant financial successes, his life is dulled by an absence of true achievement, and empty of genuine love. ‘I only wish I could keep on wanting things after I get ’em, ‘ he concludes. But things are about to change, for better and for worse, when he encounters a beautiful playwright and a desparate, out-of-work thief. Written by Albert Payson Terhune, author of Lad: A Dog, this is a story of strength of character–of using the strength one has, and of summoning up hidden reserves when strength is urgently needed. This novel, originally serialized in Green Book magazine in 1917 and 1918, appears here in book form for the first time.
