California doesn't suit Lucy Whipple, not the name, not the place. But moving out West to Lucky Diggins, California, was her mama's dream come true. And now her brother, Butte, and sisters, Prairie and Sierra, seem to be Westerners at heart, too. For Lucy, Lucky Diggins is hardly a town at all, just a bunch of ramshackle tents and tobacco spitting miners. Even the gold her mother claimed was lying around in the fields isn't panning out. Worst of all, there's no lending library.
