Fool's Gold (The Skinners of Goldfield, Book 1)
In 1905, the Skinners are traveling to California to live near O.T. Skinner's brother when they decide to pass through Goldfield, NV, the last gold-rush boomtown to spring up. O.T. and his wife, Dola, don't plan to stay; they want to build a good life for their four children elsewhere. However, circumstances and their belief that God leads them end up keeping them in Goldfield, where they quickly shut down a water monopoly, befriend both sides of a feud, and help another poor family get back on its feet. Bly (Proud Quail of the San Joaquin) provides a rip-roaring Western in the tradition of Louis L'Amour, filled with humorous characters and an abiding appreciation for the Lord's mysterious ways.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
