Abigail lives with her father in Calico, CA, which is booming with silver mining. At the livery across the street lives a widower Nathan and his daughter Lizzie.
When crazy things start happening at the mine, and when suspicions peek, there are fingers pointing towards Abigail's father being the fault of it. She and Nathan set out to find out the truth and get down to business. In the process there are emotions building up.
I don't think this story had a good build. It was pretty basic and didn't really show enough character builds. I felt unemotionally attached and I feel there was a lack of "Christian" in this story, though God is mentioned indeed. The book is about trusting in God ultimately. I felt the problems in this were solved too easily too. I had been looking forward to this book for a while (as I read all the Love Finds You books regularly).

I loved this book!! Abigail is so independent and spunky but finally even she decides that she needs help. Nathan rescues Abigail; although at the time, Abigail didn't think so. I love the characters in the book. Lizzie is definitely a handful and Caroline is the best friend a girl could ask for. This is Elizabeth Ludwig's 1st full length historical novel. She should write more of them...this one is excellent!!
Another new author for me. An accident at a silver mine leads Abigail to search for the truth surrounding the death of her father. Also offers a slight look into the lives of recently arrived Chinese to a small mining town. I would have liked an epilogue to bring some closure to the plight of the neglected Chinese. I can't say more or it would spoil the ending.
A very good story. I have liked almost all of the Love Finds You books.
