    About this audiobook

    Desperate to save her siblings from poverty, a young woman discovers magic fueled by gold . . . and a love for the man who wields it.

    Abandoned by their father for the gold rush, Gentry and her siblings labor to survive alone in the inhospitable west. When bizarre natural disasters begin wreaking havoc on the land, Gentry discovers a world of magic. Desperate for help, she accepts aid from a mysterious stranger.

    Winn not only sees the magic, but controls its hunger by feeding it gold-the very thing Gentry's father left to acquire. But the earth's unrest only grows worse, and Gentry's fear leads her to a terrible choice: marry a wealthy man she does not love, or trust in Winn's unpredictable power to save her family.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.

      Trite but entertaining. Young adult at most. I didn't love it.
    • 4/5
      Ms. Holmberg takes elements of Utah pioneer history and myth and mixes them all up with magic and environmentalism and comes up with a tale that is charming and homey and also otherworldly and mysterious. Gentry is trying frantically to keep her family together after their father abandons them. The story of her allowing others to help (including her own siblings) and also learning not to give up her own life to others is a good one.
