New York Times Bestselling Author
"Worthy Brown's Daughter is a fast and absorbing read, and Margolin's law expertise makes the book's climax . . . an exciting moment indeed." --Seattle Times

A wronged former slave. A heartbroken lawyer. A seductive gold digger. A smitten judge. Will frontier justice prevail?

Recently widowed attorney Matthew Penny has come to the newly settled Oregon frontier to start a new life. He encounters the most challenging case of his career when a former slave, Worthy Brown, asks him to save his teenage daughter from the man who owned them. Worthy Brown's Daughter is a compelling white-knuckle drama about two broken men risking everything for what they believe. Woven through with rich historical detail, it is a breathtaking narrative about the extent of evil and the high price of true justice.
