The Earth Abides Forever

Ninety-five thousand acres of prime timberland and three mills are the Jensen family's crown jewels. In three generations of ownership, the value has multiplied to over a billion dollars. Nick Jensen is a college graduate and in training to take over, when a wild party turns tragic with a young woman left in a coma, Nick's father dead, and the family business inherited by Isabella Jensen, Nick's mother and an environmentalist. Their inevitable clash leads to dividing the business, but Nick borrows from the wrong people and finds himself in a squeeze from which escape seems unlikely. When the Spotted Owl is listed as Endangered, chaos ensues. Starting in Eugene, Oregon and spreading to the beaches, mountains, forests, and cities here and abroad, the Jensens struggle with dangerous enemies and valiant dreams. A thrill ride from beginning to end.
