Produktbeschreibung
Bee, a spirted young woman desperate to save her family from financial ruin, dons a widow's protective garb as a disguise to venture into California's hostile gold country. She hopes to assist her uncle in working a claim, but finds only abandoned diggings, no gold despite her labors, and friendless surroundings.Lost in unfamiliar territory, she connects with a cattleman driving a herd into the Mother Lode hills. There she finds a new life with actors, miners, pioneer women, and many of the colorful giants of California history. How Bee copes with the successes and defeats in her new surroundings is the heart of this novel. Iris Roth's tale of how romance can grow almost unnoticed provides lessons for those still learning life's truisms. Fate can play cupid's role and a "strictly business" arrangement can mellow into a relationship that will last forever.

Autorenporträt
Iris Roth (a pen name) graduated from the University of California in 1943 and immediately began teaching English to students in the shipyard-overburdened Richmond, California, schools. Fast deciding journalism was a better choice for her skills, she obtained a job as a bay area newspaper reporter before marriage and motherhood gave her a higher calling. In her later years she concentrated on financial and real estate management. Retirement offered the time to produce this tale that was long simmering within her.
