Description:

Rush to California after the 1848 gold discovery alongside thousands of hopeful men and women. Meet news reporters, English gentry, miners, morticians, marriage brokers, bankers, fugitives, preachers, imposters, trail guides, map makers, cooks, missionaries, town builders, soiled doves, and more people who take advantage of the opportunities to make their fortunes in places where the population swelled overnight. But can faith and romance transform lives where gold is king?

Book Takeaway:

Our capabilities and hard work should be the measures of our worth to others, not our gender.

Why the author wrote this book:

Stories about women in positions of influence and skill typically religated to men tug at my heart strings. I saw my mother not appreciated for her intelligence and capabilities in the commercial work place. I wrote this story for her.
