Be whisked away in the moving story of a girl travelling far and wide for a better life, from the internationally bestselling author Lesley Pearse
Tragedy sent her on a journey far from home . . .
Fifteen-year-old Beth's life is shattered when she and her brother Sam are orphaned.
Believing that only in America can they make a fresh start, brother and sister leave Liverpool and embark on the greatest adventure of their lives.
In New York, Beth's talent with the fiddle earns her the friendship of gamblers, chancers and other rogues. Dodging trouble across America, Beth and her friends head for the Klondike river in search of gold.
But how far must Beth go to find happiness?
And will her travels lead this gypsy to a place she can ever call home?
