Description

Beth's life is shattered when she and her brother Sam are orphaned, but she finds a way to escape her troubles and start anew in America. With her talent for the fiddle, she earns the friendship of a group of gamblers and chancers, and together they embark on a journey to the Klondike river in search of gold.

As Beth travels across the country, she must confront the challenges of her past and the uncertainty of her future. Will she find happiness on the open road, or will her travels lead her to a place she can ever call home?

Lesley Pearse's moving story of a young girl's journey to find happiness and belonging is a powerful and emotional tale that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
