Rex Beach struck no gold in the Klondike rush but mined the experience for a career — and here he leaves the frozen North for the glitter of Broadway. A grasping Long Island family brings its beautiful daughter to New York to sell her: first into a chorus line, then into the richest marriage her mother can engineer, the auction block giving the book its bitter title. The mother is one of the most convincing monsters in American fiction. This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
