The Gold Seer Trilogy #1...
"Lee Westfall has a secret. She can sense the presence of gold in the world around her. Veins deep beneath the earth, pebbles in the river, nuggets dug up from the forest floor. The buzz of gold means warmth and life and home—until everything is ripped away by a man who wants to control her. Left with nothing, Lee disguises herself as a boy and takes to the trail across the country. Gold was discovered in California, and where else could such a magical girl find herself, find safety?"
When I saw this series was set during the Gold Rush I knew had to read it. There's something about that era that's very alluring and I think it makes the perfect setting for a fantasy adventure story. Carson delivered everything I was hoping for. I think she captured the essence of the period beautifully. I listened to the audio book and the narrator's performance enhanced the story even more. The sequel, Like a River Glorious, releases tomorrow so I'm glad I don't have to wait very long for it. : )
