New York Times bestselling author Francine Rivers returns to the California frontier in a sweeping, romantic tale featuring a displaced New England suffragette and a former Union soldier. In 1875, Kathryn Walsh arrives in Calvada, a mining town in the Sierra Nevadas, to claim an inheritance from her late uncle: a defunct newspaper office and a seemingly worthless mine. Banished from Boston by her wealthy stepfather, falling in love is the last thing on her mind. However, moved by the plight of local miners and their families, Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle's newspaper, putting her at odds with the town's powerful men. Determined to speak her mind and publish the truth, she faces significant danger. Matthias Beck, owner of a local saloon and hotel, is drawn to Kathryn's tenacity, recognizing the same fierce spirit in her that he knows can be perilous. As they find themselves aligned on various issues, Matthias's quest for purpose becomes intertwined with his growing feelings for Kathryn. In a lawless boomtown where many seek wealth, it is a love more precious than gold that may ultimately save them all.
