The Gambler's Daughter

The Gambler's Daughter is a sequel to Flying Ghosts.

Thirteen-year-old Loretta, her six-year-old brother Teddy and their gambling stepfather "Bean Trap" Braden are one step ahead of the law and a band of angry miners looking for revenge. Run out of town for winning more than his share of their wages, Bean Trap and the children jump borders, hide out in ghost towns and stow away on trucks, sleds and trains, dodging sore losers hot on the trail of the winnings. Now Loretta must take the biggest gamble of all and put an end to the pursuit—can she and Teddy get out of the game and start a new life, or are the stakes too high?
