REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:
This debut novel explores one female’s experience in the post Gold Rush era as a throng of desperate people travel to the Klondike. Eliza Waite is one of them. After losing her husband and son on the remote San Juan Islands off Washington, Eliza lives a stark, lonely life trying to make it on her own. Both a physical and emotional journey for Eliza ensue as she travels north to Alaska to find her way. Even with a slow start, Eliza Waite is a compelling story of a women’s role in a dramatic and changing time in the western history.
