(2) YA To protect their settlement, sixteen-year-old Lee (Walk on Earth a Stranger) and love interest Jefferson surrender to Lee's murderous uncle Hiram--who's desperate to exploit her gold-finding abilities. Captive, but with innumerable freedoms compared to the Chinese and Native American people enslaved by her uncle, Lee joins an uprising against him. Carson's alternate Gold Rush–era setting is fierce and brutal with complex sociopolitics.
