Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the morning of January 24, 1848, James W. Marshall discovered gold in California. The news spread across the continent, launching hundreds of ships and hitching a thousand prairie schooners filled with adventurers in search of heretofore unimagined wealth. Those who joined the procession—soon called 49ers—included the wealthy and the poor from every state and territory, including slaves brought by their owners. In numbers, they represented the greatest mass migration in the history of the Republic. In this first comprehensive history of the Gold Rush, Malcolm J. Rohrbough demonstrates that in its far-reaching repercussions, it was the most significant event in the first half of the nineteenth century. No other series of events between the Louisiana Purchase and the Civil War produced such a vast movement of people; called into question basic values of marriage, family, work, wealth, and leisure; led to so many varied consequences; and left such vivid memories among its participants. Through extensive research in diaries, letters, and other archival sources, Rohrbough uncovers the personal dilemmas and confusion that the Gold Rush brought. His engaging narrative depicts the complexity of human motivation behind the event and reveals the effects of the Gold Rush as it spread outward in ever-widening circles to touch the lives of families and communities everywhere in the United States. For those who joined the 49ers, the decision to go raised questions about marital obligations and family responsibilities. For those men—and women, whose experiences of being left behind have been largely ignored until now—who remained on the farm or in the shop, the absences of tens of thousands of men over a period of years had a profound impact, reshaping a thousand communities across the breadth of the American nation.

Book excerpt: When the young heiress Edilean Talbot turns up at her uncle's castle in Scotland, she may easily win over the members of the local clans with her great beauty and charm, but Laird Angus McTern is not so easily impressed. However, when Edilean's inheritance is stolen from her, Angus swallows his pride and sets off to recapture the pilfered gold. What he doesn't realise is that one of the trunks on the wagon actually contains Edilean, and he finds himself accused of kidnapping and theft. To avoid prosecution, the two of them board a ship to America and, during the course of the voyage, fall in love. But when they do arrive in the new country, Edilean is forced to return home by her fortune-hunting fiancé and the two lovers must endure a long separation. In the end, Edilean and Angus overcome every obstacle standing in their way, and they can finally begin their life together.

Book excerpt: A hidden message, treachery, opposition, and a God-given success will lead to an unlikely bounty. In Harvest of Gold (Book 2), the scribe Sarah married Darius, and at times she feels as if she has married the Persian aristocracy, too. There is another point she did not count on in her marriage—Sarah has grown to love her husband. Sarah has wealth, property, honor, and power, but her husband’s love still seems unattainable. Although his mother was an Israelite, Darius remains skeptical that his Jewish wife is the right choice for him, particularly when she conspires with her cousin Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Ordered to assist in the effort, the couple begins a journey to the homeland of his mother’s people. Will the road filled with danger, conflict, and surprising memories, help Darius to see the hand of God at work in his life—and even in his marriage?

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of The Summerhouse brings her signature “marvelously compelling” (Houston Chronicle) prose to the second historical romance in the charming Edilean series. Angus McTern is respected by the men of his clan and adored by the women. He takes his duties as laird seriously and has everything he wants in life—until Edilean Talbot shows up. Breathtakingly beautiful and born of privilege, Edilean needs Angus’s help to reclaim the gold she inherited from her father. Unfortunately, when Angus tries to seize it, he’s accused of theft, and has to leave behind all that he knows and escape with Edilean to the New World. There they discover almost insurmountable obstacles, and a love as wild and free as the land itself. Stirring and masterfully rendered, Jude Deveraux “incorporates her trademark sweet and salty characters into a pair of entertaining romances, one past, one present, to create one of her most fun and pleasing tales” (Booklist).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a love story between a believer's heart and the great and loving heart of God. Journey with the author as God gradually wins her love and as He faithfully carries her through a long, dark valley of suffering to a place of peace, joy, and victory. Witness the powerful message of the cross at work in her life and find yourself drawn to the One who suffered and died on the cross for you.The background of this story offers a rare look at the inner workings of a controversial church in which the author was persecuted for her personal Christian beliefs. It depicts the gradual development of an environment of deception and provides insight into how people seeking God can be caught up in such groups. The lessons the author learned, the knowledge she gained about Christ and Him crucified, and the truth that set her free are invaluable.As God's purpose for her life begins to take shape and her tangled experiences begin to make sense, a beautiful part of God's masterpiece unfolds--one that God has skillfully and patiently crafted. You will realize that you, too, have a unique place and purpose in His universal tapestry, one He is waiting to show you.
