BLURB:
After the death of her abusive husband, Sarah Gregg is free to join her family
along with thousands of others in the nation’s westward march for gold. But in
the middle of the hard journey, Sarah’s younger sister, Florrie, disappears.
Devastated by the family’s failed attempts to find her missing sister, Sarah
now wants only to settle into a quiet, uneventful life when she reaches
California . . .
But Jack McCoy, a drifter and one-time gambler riding along their wagon train, sees so much more for Sarah. In the roaring mining town of Gold Creek his attentive persistence points Sarah toward new vistas. Then unexpected news of Florrie arrives—and it’s worse than anyone expected. But driven by a new hopefulness, Sarah seeks help from Jack, despite his troubled past. The two have traveled a rough road together, and only their hearts can tell them where they are headed . . .

Excerpt:
“Has anybody seen my sister?”
Lined along the bank, the ladies of
the train dutifully halted their labors. “Haven’t seen her since this morning.”
“Haven’t seen her all day.”
“Maybe she ran away.”
Everyone tittered at that last
remark. After weeks living in the forced closeness of a wagon train, they knew
each other well, and in some cases, better than they wished. Sarah was known to
be the hard worker of the family. Her sister-in-law, Becky, was the one with
the sharp tongue. Florrie was the quiet one, hadn’t made many friends, and
stayed close to their wagon. She’d be the last person in the world who’d run
off. Besides, where would she go? Two days ago they’d left the last vestiges of
civilization at Fort Hall and were now in a land where rivers raged, wild
animals roamed, forests stretched to the horizon and beyond.
`So where was Florrie? Come to think
of it, Sarah hadn’t seen her since right after they stopped for the day, and
that was hours ago. It wasn’t like her, but she must be visiting at one of the
wagons. She’d surely appear in time for supper. Nothing to worry about.
