Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
It's 1897. A new gold rush is on, and Katy O'Connell of Willow Bend, Mont., is a woman ahead of her time. She has gold fever and wants to make her fortune the hard way: pan for it. Dressed as a boy, Katy offers her services as a guide to Jonah Armstrong, a Chicago newspaper reporter en route to Canada to cover the story. Despite Katy's boyish clothes and her various male vices (brawling, riding, shooting, etc.), she's all girl and a wonderfully interesting and complex character. Jonah is not the typical alpha hero, but he's appealing just the same. Carmichael's (Outcast) plot is simple and uncomplicated, and the action never-ending. The description of the trek to the Canadian Klondike reads as if the author's been there and done that.

A sequel to "Outcast"- Katy's story.,
This review is from: Gold Dust (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the second book that I read by Emily, the first one being the "Outcast" the story of Katy's parents. I must admit that I liked the "Outcast" better; however "Gold Dust" has its moments. Emily is proving to be one of my favorite authors, I intent to read more of her work in the future.
"Gold Dust" is a good read. It is the story of an adventures Katy and her quest for the gold. Jonah is a reporter from Chicago whose goal is to document the Great Klondike Gold Rush. Amid the hardship and the obstacles they manage to fall in love and form a friendship bond. Their love story is an evolving one. Although I loved the hero, I think that in this book our heroine stole the whole show. I just couldn't get enough of her. She is not a typical 18th century woman; she is a 20th century rebel. I greatly recommend reading "Outcast" first. It will help understating Katy's back ground and building blocks. I liked the role of Gabriel and Olivia in the book. I wish there was an epilogue to this book.
