Facing treacherous terrain and a fierce blizzard, their resolve is tested. Will California's promise of a new life be enough to overcome the shadows of the past?

From the publisher

The Colton’s continue on the road west in pursuit of Suzannah’s black-sheep brother-in-law, Charles Herrington. Having come through great hardship on the trail, everyone is optimistic that California will hold the promise of a better life. Their excitement escalates when news of the gold strike reaches them. But formidable challenges await them long before they reach their destination. Steep slopes, a blizzard, and ice slow their progress as sister Pauline seems to grow weaker. Once they reach kinder territory, the hard-working Coltons start their own thriving business, but Suzannah catches a serious case of “gold fever.” She is determined that she will be the one to get Pauline out from under Charles’s dark shadow forever in this Book 3 of the Colton Cousins Adventure Series. Get the whole set: Suzannah and the Secret Coins, Daniel Colton Under Fire, and Daniel Colton Kidnapped.
