Summary:
Raised in the British colony of Valpara©Ưso, Chile, English orphan Eliza Sommers meets and falls in love with the wildly inappropriate Joaqu©Ưn Andieta, a lowly clerk with ambitious dreams. When gold is discovered in the hills of northern California, Chileans, including Joaqu©Ưn, head north to seek their fortune. Eliza, pregnant with Joaqu©Ưn's child, leaves behind everything she knows to follow her lover. In the rough-and-tumble world of San Francisco, Eliza must navigate a society dominated by greedy men. But with the help of her natural spirit and a good friend, Chinese doctor Tao Chi'en, Eliza soon comes to discover that her search for love has become a quest of personal freedom.
