Publisher's Summary

Life is not easy for Louisa, a woman in 1863 Idaho territory. After being forcibly moved out West by her abusive husband, she is abandoned, left to care for herself and her two children, Joshua and Emma. The man she married is nowhere to be found, but Louisa revels in the newfound freedom from her spouse’s tyranny. 

Between finding a balance between motherhood and providing for the family, Louisa has much on her plate and makes a home for herself in Placerville amid the Gold Rush. Louisa struggles to navigate the many hardships of life: Her children run off and go missing; the town cowers under threat of a serial killer known as the Placerville Phantom; Louisa suffers the ever-looming possibility of her wayward husband returning. Meanwhile, the 29-year-old must tiptoe her way around a developing romance, amid whispers of her broken marriage. Through it all, she develops strong friendships and remains dedicated to raising her children, eventually finding her own version of a happy ending.
