Publisher's Synopsis
After the 1862 events in Digging Deeper, three desperate people journey east across the Sierra, looking for a place to settle. Their journey takes them over the Placerville Road (now Hwy. 50), through up-start Markleeville, the last of Monoville, the boom of Aurora, the infancy of Bodie, the rise of Bridgeport, the quiet charm of Genoa, the security of Carson City, and the unfettered glory of Virginia City. In 1875, their friend, Lucy Murphy (Chasing the Dream, Declining Fortunes, Digging Deeper), goes in search of her teenage son, and finds these towns very much changed. Eventually, they all cease their wanderings, but for uniquely different reasons.
