About This Book

A young, independent frontier woman who helped open a gold claim becomes the focus of rumor when a notorious man is killed; an alibi later clears her, but gossip and sudden wealth from selling her mine interest push her toward the East. The narrative follows her uneasy passage from rugged country to civilized society, her pragmatic relations with local settlers and Indigenous neighbors, and the personal tensions that arise as freedom, reputation, education, and the moral complications of frontier fortune reshape her life.
