Review

A gripping story about the search for gold, for love, for the discovery of honor and the mysteries of the human heart.--Paulette Jiles, author of Enemy Women

An eloquent, memorable first novel, with high-powered characters whose prickly exteriors, created out of a need to survive, hide affectingly yearning and haunted souls.
