Description: "'Southern Gold' is a work of historical fiction set in Dunedin and Central Otago during the gold rush period. It spans 1858 - 1876. The story revolves around an illegitimate baby who is found on the road and brought up in the notorious community of Maclaggan Street. She grows into a singular girl, and into a young woman to be reckoned with. From muddy city streets to wild-west shootouts, 'Southern Gold' is a story of courage and love against the odds"--Publisher information.
