Set in 1859 and Present Day, the novel alternates between the stories of two girls. The latter is about a young girl named Josey Fraser who falls for a dark and mysterious stranger who convinces her family that he can find and mine gold on their land. The other story is about Tara Fraser (a descendant of Josey) whose longstanding family home burnt down and is now living with her cousin and going to a new school. The two stories are tied together by the family's history and land. There is a bit of magical realism and this book reads almost like a ghost story. A good recommendation for anyone who likes mysteries, treasure hunting or ghost stories.
