Book Description:
Book 1 of Dakotah Treasures. Author Lauraine Snelling once again takes readers west to the untamed land of Dakota Territory, introducing new characters both unique and appealing. Ruby Torvald and her young sister, Opal, have received an inheritance from their long-lost father who left home years ago to seek his fortune in the Black Hills. When they leave their comfortable situation in Chicago and arrive at the mining town of Medora to claim their inheritance, the sisters discover that rather than the legacy of gold they expected, their father has left them a shocking bequest. Ruby's bold determination in the face of scandal leads the reader on a journey both heartwarming and inspiring.

I love Historical Inspirational Fiction. If you like this genre you are in for a treat. In this book ruby travels from New York City where she lived an easy life in the wealth of society. She went to work and live with a wealthy family after her grandmother passed away. Her father who had abandoned her years earlier had sent for her on his dying bed. When she reached in the Dakota territory to find her dad dying her life began to change. Ruby a strong woman and caretaker of the other weeker women in the story.
Great Read

This is a wonderful book! I am so glad it is only Book #1 of this series of Books. I stayed up all night to finish reading it. I have now requested the other three. I can hardly wait for them to arrive! These stories take place in Dakota Territory about the same time my grandfather's family was there. It is so fascinating to read about life in that era, especially when you consider how rapidly life has changed since that time.
This was a great book. Didnt realize I would enjoy these books from so long ago. It kept my attention as well as any we have read from the present day. We didnt know it had a prior book "Pearle" when we read it and would have liked to read that one first but at the same time it really didnt matter.
Teresa G. (Ruby Torvald sets out on a daunting journey with her young sister, Opal, to hopefully see their long-lost father once more and claim the promised inheritance. But instead of the treasure they expected, the sisters discover something most shocking. Ruby's bold determination in the face of scandal is the only way to redeem her father's legacy. Does she have it in her?
The First in a new series and just a really good book. If you enjoy Christian fiction, you will enjoy this one!
