“Vivid… Arresting” (Kirkus Reviews): When Ada joins the Donner Party and sets out along the Oregon Trail, she never expects to become stranded in the mountains — or the dangers she’ll have to face. “Ada is an impressive heroine who thinks for herself and exhibits moral courage in dire straits” (Publishers Weekly).

When Eliza Waite chooses to leave a stagnant life in rural Washington State and join the masses traveling north to Alaska in 1898 during the tumultuous Klondike Gold Rush, she encounters challenges and successes in both business and love.
