    Summary:

    It is 1896, and 19-year-old Pearl Owens wants adventure. To fulfill her dream, Pearl is on her way to the Yukon with her cousin, Emma, to write articles and do illustrations about the woman and men who are looking for gold in the north. Sam Owens, Pearl’s cousin and Emma’s brother, is in the Yukon searching for gold with two friends, Gordon and Donald. After five years of barely making a living at gold panning, Gordon and Donald have decided their quest is futile, and it is time to return home. But Sam wants to stay a while longer. Then they hear word of a new gold find on Rabbit Creek. After a discussion, they decide to make it their last attempt at striking it rich. When the two women and three men meet in the town of Fortymile, sparks fly between two of them. Canada's Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush is the setting for this action-packed adventure, where the biggest challenge is surviving the cold and isolation. Acclaimed narrator Jenny Hoops holds the listener spellbound with her telling of this tale of romance, adventure, and the history of the Klondike.
