Gold Mountain

By Karen J. Hasley

Gold Mountain plunges you into the glittering, treacherous world of 1901 San Francisco, where courage is costly and doing what's right can get you killed. After surviving the terror of China's Boxer Uprising, Dinah Hudson arrives in California longing for peace-but instead finds herself drawn into the dangerous work of famed real-life American reformer Donaldina Cameron. When Dinah agrees to help rescue young Chinese girls smuggled into America for slavery and prostitution, her mission becomes more than charity. It becomes a calling-one that tests her resolve, her heart, and her very survival.
Every man she meets may be ally or enemy: a polished financier, a determined policeman, a charismatic entrepreneur with a smile too perfect to trust. In a city where power hides in shadows and ruthless men profit from human suffering, Dinah must decide how much she's willing to risk to save the innocent-and whether she can protect her own heart in the process.
Rich with history, suspense, and a heroine whose bravery lingers long after the final page, Gold Mountain is a gripping story of justice, sacrifice, and unexpected love. Readers who crave emotional depth and high-stakes historical drama will not want to miss it.
