The year is 1900 in gold-prospecting Alaska. Essie, a Midwestern
farm girl fleeing from a stormy marriage, joins up with prospectors
bound for Nome, where the golden sands teem with dreamers,
schemers, and high rollers. When Leonard, Essie's stubborn and
volatile husband, travels north, astonishing scenes of pursuit,
sacrifice, and crucial decision rise to a conclusion that is both
surprising and inevitable. Powerfully evoking a past world and the
variable territory of the heart, this novel establishes Peter C.
Brown as a consummate storyteller. Reading group guide included.
