Notes
Description
One hundred years after her family was transformed by greed during the Klondike Gold Rush, Anna Bush grapples with moral conflict and questions of justice as she travels to the Klondike to bequeath her would-be inheritance to the First Nations peoples who paid the price for its creation.
Description
The middle daughter of struggling California fruit farmers, Alice Bush is accustomed to feeling inferior and destitute. When her elder sister's husband strikes a vein of gold in the Yukon Territory, Alice seizes control of her destiny by joining a wave of white settlers making the dangerous trek to the Klondike. By luck and circumstance Alice becomes tightly intertwined in her sister and brother-in-law's newfound fortune-- as well as the beginning of a generations-long family quest for wealth that unfolds against the icy Canadian wilderness and the booming oilfields of California. One hundred years later Alice's great-great-granddaughter Anna must grapple with moral conflict and questions of justice as she travels to the Klondike to bequeath her would-be inheritance to the First Nations peoples who paid the price for its creation. -- adapted from jacket
