Gold!  Gold worth millions is buried in the Sierras, high above the
beautiful valley that Jenny King has always loved.  The great gold rush of
1878 begins, and with it, Jenny's life is changed forever.  She has always
believed that one day, her father's ranch would be hers; that she would
never leave.  But when her domineering stepmother's schemes force her from
her home, Jenny falls in love with Tom Mueller, a miner on his way to the
roughest mining camp in California. Will Tom and the untamed town of Bodie
help her attain her lifelong dream, or will defying her family cost her
everything?

     Once, Bodie was the second largest city in California, with a
population of nearly ten thousand people, most all of them tough, untamed
miners and the men and women who followed them.  The town soon earned a
reputation as the "baddest" mining camp of them all.  Worse, at 8300 feet
above the sea, winters came with a fury, burying the town under drifts of
snow.  Now, there's little left but the skeletons of buildings and the
ghosts of time past.

     Yet, close to the site is some of the most beautiful country in
America, deep valleys holding perfect jewels of crystal clear lakes,
sheltered by towering, snow-clad peaks.  Yosemite National Park is just over
the ridge and less than one hundred miles north lies beautiful Lake Tahoe.  

      If you have ever toured the region, fished for trout in a mountain
lake, hiked into the back country of the Sierras, or just toured the old
courthouse in Bridgeport, CA, you'll want to read THE RAINBOW CHASERS.
