It is 1871 in Idaho Territory, and fourteen-year-old Samuel
Chambers is, in many ways, already a man. After journeying west
with his father in search of a golden ledge, Samuel nds himself
living in the midst of a raucous mining camp lled with gold-hungry
Chinese. Gold is scarce, and everyone wants it-including Samuel,
whose main goal in life is to get "lucky rich." But Samuel has no
idea that the path to achieving his dream is lined with danger like
he has never seen before.
Samuel refuses to believe all the naysayers as he embarks on a
journey from placer mining to prospecting and from peddling
merchandise to running assays. But life in the Wild West is
unpredictable, and there are those so intent on nding riches that
they will kill anyone who happens to get in their way. Even as
danger lurks in the shadows, Samuel cannot keep his eyes o Miss
Lilly, a beautiful dancehall lady who intrigues him more than he
would like to admit. Despite his attempts to balance a courtship
with achieving his dream, nothing prepares Samuel for what is about
to happen next.
In this compelling historical tale, a teenager on a
coming-of-age journey in remote Idaho faces prejudice and peril as
he struggles to carve a living from the land and build a new
future.
