This Collection Is Being Prepared

What this section will contain

This collection will present selected journal entries from Clara’s years inside Iron Passage. Her private writing provides another view of the company, her father’s legacy, the authority she was forced to claim, and the people whose sacrifices disappeared when complicated events were reduced to a line in a ledger.

The journals will be released in chronological selections so readers can follow Clara’s changing understanding of the company and her place within it.
