From the cotton fields of antebellum Arkansas to the heart of
California's Gold Rush, this lush, historical saga follows the
bittersweet journey of a plantation owner's daughter in her quest
for personal freedom.
Without her mother, separated from her twin brother, and
oppressed by her cruel and philandering father, Diana McCallum is a
rebellious and feisty young woman. Her best friend is a slave girl
named Drum, and Diana doesn't care about their differences in
status or color. Her disapproving father sends Diana away to
boarding school, where her defiance soon gets her expelled.
Later, to escape the torture of a brutal marriage, Diana stows
away on a wagon train headed to California. During the grueling
journey west, Diana encounters unexpected love, danger, and
adventure. And when Drum appears, she brings with her a secret that
will change Diana's life forever.
A successful blend of history and fiction, "Golden Siblings"
reveals the emotional turmoil and racial prejudices of pre-Civil
War America and explores the lure of the forbidden, the value of
independence, the power of secrets, and the irrepressible ties of
family.
