Stephanie Burbank is absolutley tired of listening to her father tell her what to do. But she will never forgive he lastest action: he has sent the love of Stephanie's life, Maxwell Harrington, to California to join the gold rush. Determined to be reuinted with Max, Stephanie stows away on the first ship she can find that's headed for California. When she's discovered, she's lucky that it's not by a crew member, but by a nice woman, Charlotte Kelly (Who was the main character of book two) and Charlotte's son, Jack. Charlotte decides to let Stephanie stay in her cabin, and it is that way that Charlotte makes it to California. But when she searches for Maxwell, she gets the shock of her life, and discovers he wasn't who she thought he was. Betrayed, Stephanie must start all over. Can she find a new love in Jack? And can she earn her father's forgiveness? This was a wonderful historical love story about a selfish girl maturing into an intelligant, courageous young woman who finds the true love of her life. I highly reccomend this book to teenage girls who love historical love stories.

This is by far the Best romance pocketbook I have ever read! The plot is suspensful and the feelings are intense. Wow! I could even picture myself there! Its about a girl learning to be a better person and the meaning of true love. And, most importantly, sometimes you just have to open your eyes and see that true love is glaring right at you...

This has to be the absolute best of all the Hearts and Dreams series! I think that it has the a great plot, and it is wonderfully told. If you like reading books that have great adventures and a dash of romance, I swear you will love this book! Heck with the book, you'll love the whole series!

My heading says it all, this really is an amazing book. READ IT!

This was about Stephanie, the 3rd book of Hearts and Dreams. Her father sends the man she loves out to California to look for gold. But Stephanie is furious. How dare her Father do that? So in her rage Stephanie packs her bags and stowsaway on a ship. She gets found out and befriends Charlotte, an old lady (From the Hearts and Dreams book: Charlotte). But she doesn't like Charlotte's son Jack. Actually she can't stand him. But then the ship catches on fire and their is an awful storm. When they are safe again Stephanie realizes that Maxwell (the man who her Father sent away) is not the one she loves. And when she gets there she meets Johanna, who has been hurt by a certain person. READ it! It's GOOD!

Stephanie is furious when she hears her father has sent the man she loves to hunt for gold in California. Stephanie runs away, stows away on a ship, and endures many hardships but finds true love.

When I first read Katherine, I fell in love with the series, but for some reason it took me a year to finally buy the other three. I read Charlotte and was a little disappointed, and I was begining to worry that the others might not be as great. Boy was I wrong! To be honest, I thought Stephanie was going to be a bad plot and all, but I couldn't put the book down! It is my favorite of the whole series. Carrie wasn't quite as good (about as good as Charlotte). I would strongly recomend this book to anyone who likes historical romances! It is one of the best books of its kind!

This book is great! I have read it at least half a dozen times over the years and it is a story you will never forget about Stephanie, a girl who runs away from home to find her true love- Maxwell Harrington, whom her father dislikes. She finds a ship Heading to California- the Gold Rush Country and stows away, until Chearlotte and her son - Jack, find her. In Charlotte, Stephanie finds a great friend who helps grow up and be courageous. Stephanie finds true love, but it just might not be who she thought it would be!

I don't know what drew me to the Hearts and Dreams series, but since I opened "Kathrine Heart of Freedom" I couldn't stop reading the series. This is a woderful series for anybody who ever wished upon a star or wished a dream would come true

This is a great book! This book is my FAVORITE out of all of the Hearts nd Dreams series. It is worth the read. In the beggining she is all snotty, selfish, and inconsideret but by the end of the book she has changed SO much it's incredible! Ms. Dokey really has out done herself in this book. I've read other books of hers and this one is on my top list. If I could, I would give this book 10 stars but I can't. :-( BOO! Don't miss this exciting book about apperences and finding true love in the least expected places. Happy reading!
P.S. You wouldn't BELIEVE the ending! It's really surprising!
