Crown of Dust
A gender-bending story of friendship, love and redemption set in the Wild West during the gold rush!
“Alex, disguised as a boy and on the run from her past, stumbles into the ramshackle, Gold Rush, settlement of Motherlode. She hopes for a meal and a bed for a night. She does not expect to find friendship in Emaline, formidable proprietor of the Victoria Inn, or to fall in love with David, one sober face in this outcast community of prospectors. Nor does Alex expect to strike gold. When she does the past begins to catch up to all of them, and the lives of those she’s grown to love become as threatened as her own.”
