Hannah Gilmore is about to be married to a member of one of Victoria, B.C.'s notable families. But first, she's promised to take her mother, Daisy, to Barkerville, the historical site of a B.C. gold rush, to search out the resting place of an ancestor. But the trip becomes impossibly complicated when her mother invites her difficult friend, Elvira, along--and insists on bringing her incontinent dog.
˃˃˃And then a bridge collapses-
And suddenly Hannah and her irritating companions are in Barkerville. But it's 1868, the height of the Cariboo gold rush. They have to accept accommodation from a saloon keeper named Logan McGraw, a mysterious, handsome man who fought in the American Civil War, and who has a secret agenda for being in Barkerville.
˃˃˃ Hannah and her companions quickly learn that women have no rights in this time and place.
But stubborn, intrepid, and imaginative, they set out to bring a semblance of women's liberation to the primitive and harsh conditions, always hoping to return to their own time.
˃˃˃ Hannah was about to be married--but now she's falling in love with another man---
Logan is accused of murder, which means he'll hang.
And everything goes according to plan--just not the one Hannah expects.
