Moving with her mother from Vancouver to Wells, British Columbia, Elizabeth Connell longs for the excitement of the city and her father, brother, and friends left behind. While she is in the peaceful graveyard of nearby Barkerville she finds a small gold ring that has very special powers. By twisting the ring on her finger, Elizabeth is transported to the nineteenth century during the heyday of the gold rush. Caught between her present life with family and friends and a love in the past, Elizabeth learns more than history.
Absolutely beautiful. I've enjoyed reading this book over and over again as a child, and several years later at 18 yrs of age, I decided to pick it up and read it again...and it never ceases to make me smile and cry. Yes, cry..especially at the end of the book.
For a child or adult

This book delighted me as a young reader, and I am reading it again, over 12 years later. By a Canadian author, a story about being young, being adventurous and being in love. Who could ask for more? A must read for everyone
