Book Description

September 23, 1999

With her sudden wealth she can have whatever her heart desires. But it may cost her what she treasures most.

Life in Black Hawk, Colorado, keeps Jennifer DeSpain and her fiancé, Jason Stone, busy but content. Everything changes, though, when a craggy old miner bursts into their office and declares that he has struck gold in the small mine Jennifer owns. Accustomed to poverty, this new-found wealth easily consumes her family's interests. Even Jennifer's husband-to-be is captivated by the prospects.

Representing Jennifer and her money, Jason takes a stagecoach to a nearby prospering town to stake new mining claims. By the end of the long and treacherous ride, he is well acquainted with another of the passengers--a young actress who has decided that the handsome and apparently wealthy Jason will be hers. Wanting to believe that this new relationship is strictly platonic, he spends more and more time with the beautiful young woman, all the while claiming that he loves only Jennifer. But before Jason and Jennifer can hope to share true love, they must each return to their first love. It will be a tumultuous journey for them both. Will they face it together... or alone?



Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The discovery of gold in an old mine throws Jennifer DeSpain's life into turmoil. Her fianc?, Jason Stone, advises Jennifer to invest in the nearby town of Leadville; soon, both are spending money as fast as the gold comes out of the mine. While overseeing the properties in Leadville, Jason falls under the spell of Marie Kelly, an actress after his wealth. Jennifer quickly sets a wedding date to keep from losing Jason, but Marie won't be thwarted. As Jennifer and Jason struggle to build a solid marriage, they also struggle to return to their belief in God, a faith sidetracked by the glitter of gold. For series collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Old West Description!!!, October 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Above the Clouds (Chronicles of the Golden Frontier #3) (Paperback)
Besides the blazing guns, there was other life in the West--the Gold and Silver barons. This book shows how the early day miners' lives were changed overnight when they struck a rich vein--and how they reacted to sudden riches. Although the story is fiction, the truth is that it actually happened, over and over again. But how the victims reacted was never the same.

Danielle Raymo (Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Above the Clouds (Chronicles of the Golden Frontier #3) (Paperback)
Gilbert Morris takes you inside the minds of those who have nothing, then gain it all. Or do they? Mr. Morris takes you inside the life of a couple who had only each other and their newspaper and of course her children, but when they strike it rich at a gold mine they begin to lose sight of what's really important. God and Themselves. Do they have to lose all their riches to remember themselves or will it destroy them first?
