Opal is a hardworking young woman who lost both her father to the gold rush and her mother (from a broken heart) soon thereafter. She does not want a man who will leave his family to chase his dreams. That's exactly who Samuel seems to be.Samuel has hit it big and falls hard for Opal. After wooing her, she gives into her desires and agrees to a date. While they are out, Samuel is robbed and beaten. Opal must quit her job in order to nurse him back to health. She cares for him very much, but the lure of more gold is calling to him. What will the pair do when Samuel leaves to seek his fortune once again?While this story is very short, it is very well done. There are twists and plenty of character growth. I am impressed by this author's breadth of work. Nice job.
