Arthur Stringer (1874 - 1950) was a Canadian novelist, screenwriter, and poet who later moved to the United States.
In Empty Hands, the spoiled only daughter of a wealthy father is banished by her parent away from the bright lights. This young flapper nearly drowns in a canoe, but is saved by one Shomer Grimshaw, a young timber engineer. The two end up on a remote island with only the clothes they are wearing, and must battle the elements to survive.
