When her parents are murdered and her uncle takes over her family's homestead in Georgia, Lee knows she needs to leave before her uncle forces her to find gold for him. Deciding to follow her childhood friend, Jefferson, to the California gold rush, Lee dresses as a young man and joins a wagon train across the country. Facing starvation, illness, dehydration, wild animals, and dangerous men, will Lee be able to keep her secrets and make it safely to California?
